Brooklyn-based duo Matt and Kim return with Grand, their second album
and first in over two years. 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 the last 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.'
