In House #1664 : The French Kicks' Two Thousand ; New Kite Flying Society, Long Winters The Brooklyn-based French Kicks returned today with their third album and follow up to 2004's surprisingly wonderful The Trial of the Century . Two Thousand reunites the band with Century producer Doug Boehm, though it doesn't necessarily make for an exact replica. This time around the aim seems to be for an ever higher sheen, with electronic [...]

Especially for TRGAW superfriend Joanna's birthday -- new French Kicks ! BTW, they're touring this fall with TRGAW pals What Made Milwaukee Famous and drumsnsynths duo Matt and Kim (who, strangely enough, are being Mates of State better than Mates of State themselves lately). Pretty cool, eh? Anyway, I spent some time over the weekend listening to Two Thousand (which sees release tomorrow, 7/22), the third album from the French Kicks, and I was reminded just exactly why (you know, in case this point [...]
Of all the new releases coming out tomorrow, I'm definitely most excited about Two Thousand, the new album from French Kicks. Originally sharing a lot of the same energy and experimental pop sensibilities of their labelmates The Futureheads, French Kicks have since taken the experimental part a bit further as evidenced on their last album, and even more here. The new album is full of bigger
L ast night I went over to Jeremy's place to record the new Festival City Radio podcast . It looks like it's going to be another short one, there just aren't many new releases this week and the local shows are fairly scarce. I wish there were more new releases so it would mean more when I tell you that I think the new French Kicks album, Two Thousand , is probably the best album [...]

The first and only time I saw French Kicks live, it was December 2nd, 2004 and they were playing a $1 show at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Admittedly, I had never listened to the band before that-not for any particular reason, I just simply hadn't gotten around it-so an almost free show with [...]
French Kicks - So Far We Are I figured since I'm gonna be DJing at the show these guys are doing this Saturday night, and since their new record, Two Thousand, is fantastic, I'd better get this down on...
I've only been up for a couple hours, but today's already a good day. My sweet Asthmatic Kitty shirt arrived (pictures later), I got some very promising looking cds, and I got one that I knew would be quality: the new French Kicks album, Two Thousand. MP3: French Kicks - So ...
Después del muy recomendable Trial Of The Century , del año 2004, French Kicks , el quinteto de Nueva York, publica este mes de Julio en Estados Unidos su tercer trabajo. El álbum lleva por tÃtulo Two Thousand y So Far We Are es el potente tema que lo abre. * French Kicks-So Far We Are

MP3: FRENCH KICKS "So Far We Are" ( Toolshed ) Another track from Two Thousand , but this one may actually live up to the band's indie pop reputation. Maybe French Kicks haven't completely lost their skills in creating interesting, infectious melodies. See also: MP3: FRENCH KICKS: "Also Ran" tags: music | mp3 | indie rock | indie pop
The French Kicks Two Thousand [Vagrant - July 18 2006] *Sixeyes Score: 6.7 out of 10 Review by JP Swenson The French Kicks new album, Two Thousand, is full of atmosphere, nods to the past, and delightful moments, but as my old art teacher used to say, "when you look at the whole thing, it doesn't check out". I'm a big fan of the last French Kicks album, Trial of the Century; the title song made
