Matt + Kim – Grand

Vinyl LP pressing. 2009 release, the second album from Brooklyn-based duo Matt and Kim. During the period in between records the duo has toured extensively and developed a loyal and growing fan base that eagerly awaits the release of Grand. The band spent nine months recording and tweaking Grand in between tour dates. The result is an album that takes the band’s musicianship and songwriting to the next level and also serves as a glowing representation of how far Matt and Kim have come since their debut. From the anthemic opener ‘Daylight’ to the harmony-rich, atmospheric ballad ‘Turn This Boat Around’ and demented pop of ‘I Wanna,’ Grand is quite literally the sound of Matt and Kim discovering their voice. ‘All of the songs on the last album we wrote the first year we learned how to play our instruments,’ Matt acknowledged, ‘but this one is much more diverse and instead of thinking about the songs we thought of the album as a whole, too.’
