Record Store Day’s Black Friday approaches on November 28th.  In support, Swedish sisters First Aid Kit will release a special 10” with Simon and Garfunkel’s epic song America.  The duo has now released a self-produced music video (watch below) which tracks their tours across the U.S and adds vintage film of the country.  The 10” release will also feature a previously unreleased track, Brother.

Afterwards, watch from 2012 as First Aid Kit honored Paul Simon (who watches approvingly in the audience) by covering the same song at the 2012 Polaris Music Awards.  Showing that they can kill it live under pressure and in front of one of their idols, this performance is one of our all-time favorites.
