transformission’s top 20 albums of ’08: #20

Author: Brad
Filed under: music
Date: Dec 18,2008

Here is the first installment of my annual ritual to list my favorite albums of the year. As for commentary, I’ll let the reviewers tell you about these albums. If I’ve reprinted it, I agree with them.

Today, we begin the countdown at #20…

20. The French Kicks: Swimming

Trading layers of mood and melody and meaning for layers of Pro Tooled artifice, French Kicks have razored off the bull****, leaving a core of beguilingly honest tunes. – Pitchfork

To save themselves from the sneaking accusation that they were fizzling out, the quartet self-produced and -mixed “Swimming,” and the result is an album notably more laid-back and truer to their wistful personalities than 2006′s “Two Thousand.” – Billboard

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. – Spin
