Lightning (album)
''Lightning'' is the fourth studio album from Brooklyn-based indie pop duo Matt & Kim, written, produced, performed and recorded by them in their New York apartment between January and July 2012, using Logic Pro. The ten-track set is an electronic indie pop album which member Matt Johnson described as being upbeat, while on some tracks being a little darker. The group decided "to do as little possible to the songs production-wise and still have them be strong" unlike their previous studio project ''Sidewalks''.
''Lightning'' was released on October 2, 2012, and was promoted with an autumn tour, a giveaway, and a 2013 remix album. Although ''Lightning'' sold well enough to reach number 50 on the ''Billboard'' 200 among a few other US ''Billboard'' charts, it was met with a varied critical reception, holding an aggregate score of 59 out of 100 from Metacritic as of March 2014. Some reviewers criticized the lack of introduction of any new type of music, unlike ''Sidewalks'', while other's thought the album was an improvement from the previous album.
==Production==
Work on ''Lightning'' was done between January 1 and July 2012,〔Marchese, David (July 25, 2012). (Matt and Kim Explain How They Struck 'Lightning' ). ''SPIN''. Retrieved July 10, 2013.〕〔 in Matt and Kim's old apartment on Grand Street in Brooklyn, New York.〔Schifino, Kim (October 2, 2012). (LIGHTNING - OUT TODAY ). mattandkimmusic.com. Retrieved July 10, 2013.〕 The album was written and recorded using the music production software Logic Pro.〔 The 10 tracks of ''Lightning'' were pared from 25-26 songs originally written for the album, which Matt Johnson said that "it gave us (and Kim ) a lot more to choose from, which let Kim and I really broaden this album out."〔 He said in an interview that the group "felt there was a lot going on in the songs" on their album ''Sidewalks''. "In a way, the safest thing you can do with a song is to make it have a lot of stuff. The more you put on, the less the actual songwriting is exposed. For the new album (), I was excited to do as little possible to the songs production-wise and still have them be strong."〔 He also said that the album's recording location "was a nice farewell" to the apartment.〔
Matt's vocals were recorded using a Brent Averill 1073, JDK R24 EQ, and a Shure SMB7 microphone. Vocal tracks were compressed three or four times, and filtering techniques with blankets and a sE Electronics Reflexion filter were used to cut out background noises of the Brooklyn–Queens Expressway. The drums were recorded at the studio Rubber Tracks, with Aaron Bastinelli engineering, while the synths were performed and programmed through a MIDI keyboard in Logic. Other assistance in making ''Lightning'' included Lar Stalfors mixing "Tonight". The tracks were summed using a Dangerous Music D-Box.〔Weiss, David (October 1, 2012).
