Grade: A+
From track one, Matt and Kim’s third full-length album, “Sidewalks,” is an addictive powerhouse of sound and fun. Tuba, tambourine, chimes and xylophone join the ever-present keyboard on various tracks, and although still present, Kim and her drums seem to take a backseat. The innocently optimistic lyrics accompany the beats and synthesizers perfectly. The first single, “Cameras,” captured the No. 20 spot on the iTunes Alternative Chart only an hour after its release. Tracks of interest also include “Block After Block” and “Good for Great.”
