Review

Spin (p.110) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "By recycling and loosening up TWO THOUSAND's best elements -- inventive instrumental passages, rich harmonies, across-the-board emoting -- French Kicks get both poppier and deeper."
Paste (magazine) (p.75) - "[They] have finally located the pulse of their hometown. The songs float in a haze of manhole steam, steeped in the decadent lethargy that NYC's hipster set has perfected."

Title Note

Recording information: The Saltlands, Brooklyn, NY.

Four albums and several years into their career, the French Kicks have undergone a dramatic shift in both their personnel and their sound. Frontman Nick Stumpf is the only member left from the original lineup, and the sound of the band has undergone an equally impressive transformation, from the energetic new wave revivalism of early albums such as THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY and ONE TIME BELLS to a more individual, low-key approach. Based primarily on richly textured keyboards and layers of subtle production touches, the 12 songs on SWIMMING are as aquatic as the album's title. Highlights include the dreamy "All Our Weekends" and the Brian Eno-like disorientation of the troubling closer, "This Could Go Wrong."

4 out of 5 stars Their first self-produced album, March 27, 2009
By JJ
Very organic sounding album. Lovely sounds, with layer after layer of blissful harmonies and melodies, sweet guitars, and drumming that is calm and cool but still manages to stand out from its surroundings. Anyone who is into Spoon, The Walkmen, or The Bees. This album will work for you.
