Matt & Kim - Grand

"'I'm feeling restless; don't slow down!' advises Matt Johnson during Grand, the hyperkinetic follow-up to Matt & Kim's hyperkinetic debut. Grand makes good use of that advice, sandwiching 11 songs into a half-hour blast of snare hits and bouncing, buzzing synthesizer riffs. Johnson handles the bulk of the vocal duties, singing every song in a nasal, nerd-chic tenor while overdubbing his own harmonies. Yet it's the chemistry between Johnson and his partner, drummer Kim Schifino, that largely fuels the band's energy." – All Music Guide
