RECORD STORE DAY

RSD 2023 IS A (LITERAL) FAMILY AFFAIR!

We're thrilled to announce that the RECORD STORE DAY AMBASSADORS for 2023 are husband-and-wife record store lovers AMANDA SHIRES AND JASON ISBELL!

"We’re honored to be your Record Store Day ambassadors for 2023. Record stores are gathering places. They’re rooms full of carefully curated art and entertainment where you can find a friend, take a date, start a band. We all need these gathering places now more than ever. In your local record store you find common ground and the excitement of discovery. A great new album can make a grumpy old man (like Jason) feel like a kid again. We’ve both worked in record stores, played our songs there, built our careers there. Record stores make it possible for recording artists to find their audience and their voice, and we couldn’t be more excited to help make 2023 the biggest and best Record Store Day yet.”

We had a great time in 2022 as we got back to celebrating in person at record stores around the world, so as we prepare for 2023 and all the announcements we've got coming soon, let's take a look back, shall we?

The new album from Swedish folk duo is "Another gem in First Aid Kit’s consistently good arsenal of timeless, harmony-rich roots music." according to NME, and it's in record stores now on CD, vinyl and this lovely limited edition white vinyl, only at indie record stores!
