your cat just got hit by a car? no problem, just one track of of this album will have you dancing around the room like a cracked out kangaroo.
Brooklyn based Matt and Kim have an amazing abilitiy to get your body movin in ways you never thought possible.
do yourself and everyone else around you a favor and buy this CD, and if you have the chance see them live, you won't stop dancing for weeks.

TEN STARS!!!!!!!!

I haven't had as many of the songs grow on me as much as Matt & Kim's album "Grand". But it is still a good buy.

Saw them at Bonnaroo 2011, What a live show. Kim is a hard working drummer, who puts on a tremendous show. The music makes you want to get up and move.

Definitely an excellent album, and they're a brilliant live act as well. Make sure you have a listen, and go see them live if you get the chance!!

Ever wondered what Mates of State would sound like if they'd met in junior high and Kori took a back seat on the vocals? That's Matt & Kim. Two people, drums and keyboards, and much like MoS, the lyrics don't -completely- make sense all the time but that's part of the charm. They know something you don't. The biggest difference I can see between the two are that M&K's sound is 'simpler' (That's not an insult.)

I'd been meaning to pick this up after hearing "Yea Yeah" on a podcast over two years ago. I'm kicking myself for waiting this long. This album makes you want to run around and jump on the bed and spray silly string at people. It's just feel good music like Los Campesinos!'s Sticking Fingers Into Sockets.

The only negative thing I can think of about this album, is that the songs start to all sound alike after a while. Which is not a terrible thing, really (see: Bouncing Souls).
Nearly perfect.

Matt sounds a lot like the lead singer of Thursday (Geoff Rickly). i did happen to notice the faux-British accent(if that's what it must be called); it really didn't bother me. its a style thing i suppose. i really enjoy their unique sound as well as the courage it takes to put out a record with so little working knowledge of their instruments. that takes a lot of guts. i've been playing guitar for years and couldn't imagine putting out any recordings yet. take this for what it is and don't read too much into it.

I own this album and Grand. Both are excellent! I never tire of their unique sound and it always cheers me up! Definitely buy this disc!

i've only been listening to matt and kim for a week or two now but thats all i've been listening. the lyrics are great and the cd will make you wanna dance and bob your head. for making a cd within the first year of playing your insturments it is very very good

This CD is so much fun, you'll be dancing around the room. I've also seen them live, they're fun, really energetic, and friendly. So good!

my girlfriend loves M&K and I just don't get it or can't get into it. I understand that they're "fun" and "dancy", but that's as far as it goes for me. other than that, I kinda find them to be more of a typical NYC hipster novelty act. its tolerable but the thing that drives me insane is the faux british accent the guy sings with, which is way too common with acts like this. the only band/singer that gets a free pass on that is Blake from Jawbreaker/Jets to Brazil.
