On November 2, our very own Matt & Kim will release Sidewalks, the long-awaited follow-up to Grand. Their first single, "Cameras," is such a festive jam, it has already teleported into December and eradicated the seasonal effective disorder we haven't even developed yet. Now imagine nine more songs of pure golden sunlight busting through the winter months with unlimited love and joy, and you're halfway to imagining your future with the new album. They have a song called "Ice Melts," you know? It's just what they do. Similarly, they kick off a grinder's tour schedule tonight in Syracuse, New York, and don't stop working hard/being awesome for a couple of months, so go check 'em out when they're in your town. Tracklist and tour dates after the jump.
