new music tuesday

The non-live music reviews portion of this blog has been seriously neglected lately, due to my being in the LOC all day, every day and out with friends every night and not having time for such frivoloty. However, I feel the need to share:

I'm in love with French Kicks and their new album Two Thousand. It's catchy, fun, indie-pop. The first track, "So Far We Are" is ridiculously addictive. You can listen to it here, or they're playing it approximately every ten minutes on KEXP. They play at Emo's on September 21. It's perfect August music.
