New Glow by Matt And Kim
New Glow is an album by Matt And Kim, released in 2015. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Get It”, on 5 lists with a best position of #17.
New Glow, Matt and Kim's fifth album, came out on Harvest Records on April 7, 2015, and it finds the Brooklyn duo buffing their upbeat, loft-party bounce into gleaming dance-pop. After cutting Lightning (2012) on their own, singer and keyboardist Matt Johnson and drummer Kim Schifino brought in outside hands, Jesse Shatkin, Andrew Dawson and Lars Stalfors, the last of whom had produced their self-titled debut.
The songs are about the two of them and their relationship, set to hooks that borrow more openly from the mainstream than anything they'd done before. It reached the Billboard 200's top 40, but the reviews split down the middle: some writers simply had a blast, while others heard the formula running dry under all that polish and ranked it their weakest record.
