lmao. If you'd listen to more than 10 seconds of a song you'd notice they actually don't sign with a southern accent. I know a southern accent cause i'm a fucking southerner. They don't possess it. Their diction and dialect is of someone who is Swedish and learned English as their second language. Their influence is Emmy Lou Harris and similar country artists so that's why their compositions sound the way they do.
And the lyric you quoted is completely out of context by itself, and has nothing to do with empowering women or has anything to do with feminism. Most of their songs tell stories, albeit fictional. They're just songs. They aren't wearing their ideologies on their sleeves. Like I said I don't care if you don't like First Aid Kit but stop trying to paint them as some fake pro feminist shit show. They're not.

Quoting the chorus of the
title song of their most popular album is taking their lyrics out of context? God damn I almost puked when I caught that Van Zandt reference in the beginning of this song for the first time just now.
I'm aware it's not a Southern accent dingus. It's an affectation. And it doesn't sound like a Swedish accent whatsoever -- it sounds like a person relatively fluent in transatlantic English being Hillary in Tennessee.
Band sux. Get used to it.
As far as what I'm listening to lately -- Dogg Pound, pac, Wu Tang solo albums, Tame Impala, recently got introduced to the Aphex Twins and they're really good. Lots more. I have eclectic taste.
