So this is a Swedish sibling group, active since 2007 and made up of sisters Johanna Söderberg and Klara Söderberg. The band named was picked by Klara, as a representation of what she wanted their music to be for people. They started uploading their stuff to MySpace in 2007, and sent a song to a radio station, which got aired. It was dubbed one of the best songs of summer, leading to gig requests, although they could only do them on weekends because Klara was still in school. Karin Dreijer who's in The Knife found them through a mutual connection, and signed them to their label, with the caveat that the girls controlled their own music. Their debut EP came out in 2008. A cover of a Fleet Foxes song, and recognition from that group over it made them noticed internationally, getting them another record deal. They both stopped going to school to tour, then they released their first album in 2010. They released their next album in 2012, followed by another in 2014 which is where this song is from. They've done a bunch of touring, along with releasing two more albums, one in 2018 and another in 2022, so check those out if you're curious.
Peace.
