The Listen

We are thrilled to learn that the French Kicks will be releasing their new album Swimming, which was produced and mixed entirely by the band, exclusively through iTunes on April 1st and in your local record store on May 20th. 

“On this record, we hoped to capture the joy of friends playing together in a relaxed way.  We used a lot of first and second takes and tried to preserve a sense of immediacy and discovery that comes from putting things down before you really have a chance to think too hard.  It’s bolder, and at the same time more intimate, than anything we’ve done,” says guitarist/vocalist Josh Wise.

They’ve thrown us a juicy bone with this brilliant new mp3:
