Stay Gold is the third studio album by Swedish indie folk duo First Aid Kit, released on 6 June 2014 in mainland Europe and on 13 June elsewhere. The album was produced by Mike Mogis, who worked on the band's previous album, The Lion's Roar.
According to an interview with Sveriges Television, the album revolves more about their own life than their previous ones. "That one has to learn appreciate what is and that all flows, that nothing stays".[2] Stay Gold introduced new elements to First Aid Kit's music, such as a 16-piece orchestra, arranged and orchestrated by Nathaniel Walcott. Their previous albums had been produced in such a way that would allow the band to perform with three people on stage; however, these limitations have been lifted to give the band a bigger, more fulfilling sound.
The title of the album is a reference to the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost. The title track echoes several lines from the poem.
