Description:
TRIAL OF THE CENTURY was the breakthrough release by New York indie rockers the French Kicks, after some low-key EPs and a full-length debut. It was a success in part because, in 2004, the time was right for the French Kicks' blend of new-wave synths and urgent indie-rock drive, following the success of bands like the Killers and Franz Ferdinand. But the album shine on its own merits, too, and was an enormous step forward from their previous work.

Starting with the glorious single "One More Time," a pulsating dance-rock gem with a yearning chorus, TRIAL OF THE CENTURY is a self-confident, playful album full of solid pop hooks delivered with casually stylish grace and nervy intensity. The French Kicks may be the Cars of the new-wave revival, and TRIAL OF THE CENTURY is their HEARTBEAT CITY.
