Today's pop music is severely lacking in fun. We have over-hyped pseudo celebrities running around with no pants, actors with the impression that talent in one field somehow gives them rights to move into another, and Justin is too busy with Jessica to come back and make everything alright. Matt and Kim gained a reputation as the fun band at the numerous Brooklyn house parties during their humble beginnings: evading the cops while pounding through their up tempo, indie-punkish, tracks as everyone's new favorite keyboard/drum duo. The sophomore release Grand gives us a much tighter musical release while retaining the energy, passion, and charm of their self-titled debut. Pop needs more of this.
