"Let's Go" comes from Lightning, the fourth Matt & Kim album, released on October 2, 2012, and like the rest of the record it was made at home: Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino wrote, recorded and produced it in their New York apartment between January and July of that year, working in Logic Pro. They mixed it too, with Lars Stalfors as engineer.
The idea was to do as little as possible to the songs and let them stand up on their own, and "Let's Go" fits Johnson's description of the album as upbeat: it's a stripped-down, fists-up electronic indie pop rallying cry built for a sweaty room.
