    The cutest couple this side of Jack and Meg do exactly that [get serious] on the shockingly accomplished Grand. [Feb 2009, p.100]

    Even though Grand is a bit toned down from Matt and Kim's first albums, it maintains the spunk, high energy and carefree attitude that caught people's attention in the first place.
  3. Uncut
    60
    The pair sometimes get slow and mellow, but the dominant tone is better expressed by the brattish beat explosion of 'Daylight,' the madly bleeping 'Don't Slow Down' or the clatteringly chaotic 'Cutdown.' [Sep 2009, p.86]

    Matt and Kim's super energetic and upbeat album has served as a much needed alternative to the recent rush of dense and sprawling indie releases. Ceaselessly enjoyable and sincere, this will probably spend a ton of time in my cd player and ipod.… Expand
