French Kicks remind us of a specific time in Brooklyn's history. We're not going to get Kokie's nostalgic on you, but we could, even though they never quite fit in what was happening at that time. Good for them. The New York quartet are back with a new album Swimming, their second for Vagrant. They produced and mixed it themselves. They did a good job, judging from the elegant pop cloudiness of the lead track "Abandon," which subtly folds hand claps, strings, and instantly familiar riffs into guitarist/vocalist Josh Wise's daydreaming. It pairs nicely with that new Notwist tune.
