Grand, the second album from Brooklyn duo Matt and Kim, came out on Fader on January 20, 2009, and it takes its name from Grand Street, where the pair live. For all that city address, they made it far from the city, recording every note in the Vermont house Matt Johnson grew up in. It's just the two of them: Johnson hammering out keyboard hooks and singing at the top of his lungs, Kim Schifino pounding the drums like the loft party is about to get shut down. The result is scrappy, sugar-rushed dance-pop built to be shouted straight back at the stage.
"Daylight" led the way and went gold, and the video for "Lessons Learned", with the duo stripping naked in Times Square, won the Breakthrough Video award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Sidewalks came next.
