Lightning, Matt and Kim's album for the Fader Label, came out on October 2, 2012, and the Brooklyn duo, Matt Johnson on keyboards and vocals and Kim Schifino on drums, sound as if they haven't sat down once since forming in 2004. It lands between Sidewalks and New Glow, three years on from Grand and the gold-certified "Daylight", and the recipe hasn't changed: two people making the noise of a full band.
Johnson's keyboard hooks are bright and blocky and his vocals get hollered at the back wall, Schifino pounds like the kit owes her rent, and the upbeat dance-floor bounce carries the energy of the lofts and cramped rooms where they started, long before the festival stages. "Let's Go" is the grinning, stomping centerpiece, with "It's Alright" right behind it.
