Algunas culturas, como la estadounidense, tienen un profundo amor por los foto-estudios y la inmortalización de la familia (aparentemente perfecta) en retratos que lo mismo sirven para adornar la sala de su casa que como portada de una postal navideña o de cualquier otra festividad. O tal vez eso es lo que piensan los poperos de Matt & Kim , quienes decidieron burlarse precisamente de este habito en su nuevo video para el primer sencillo de su nueva placa, la pegajosa "Let's Go" .

Hace pocos días, el dúo indie-pop de Brooklyn Matt & Kim , llegó al escenario de Jimmy Fallon para interpretar Let’s Go , tema que abre su cuarto disco de estudio, Lightning , editado el 2 de octubre. También pueden escuchar Now , otro corte de difusión que se desprende de Lightning . [...]
As a band, Matt & Kim's style has always been as simple as their name; they're never anything short of happy, energetic, and fun. The perky, androgynous duo (he sings, she drums) struck gold with “Daylight” in 2009, a single that felt like the culmination of everything their music was about. I don’t think I went to one party that year that it didn’t play; and it was, for that reason, that their music began to become a little annoying to me. Maybe ‘annoying’ is too strong a word; I actually like their music, a lot. [...]

Our dear friend ItsTheBino & partner Front Lawn just premiered 3 Matt & Kim videos on their new creative playground Sandlot.tv . Usually lyric videos are bogus record label ploys to gauge a single's success, but the guys at Sandlot crafted 3 unique videos in 3 days. I'm really impressed. Check out Matt & Kim's "Tonight," "I Said" & "Not That Bad" below. Their new album LIGHTNING is out now . Peace to Sperry & all the other planets. [...]
This week, our top releases are really across the board. We've got WHY?'s pseudo-hip-hop charm balanced with the symphonic feel of Sun Airway , Matt & Kim's high-energy alternative rock and Taken By Trees' mellow, Hawaiian vibes. The Mountain Goats released their fourteenth studio album, Muse their sixth and The Vaccines their second. We've got a great mix going here, and I'm certain there's something for everyone to enjoy. From their formation in 2005, Brooklyn duo [...]

Matt and Kim are excited to release their highly anticipated 4th full-length album, Lightning, today via FADER Label. Entertainment Weekly's current issue features Matt and Kim in The Must List, praising Lightning as an "infectious collection of good-times party rock, powered by stripped-down synths, booming percussion, and chant-along choruses". Bust calls Lightning "an upbeat, heart attack-paced record," and TheSilverTongue says Lightning "finds the pair firing on all cylinders to do all the things that have made them a fan favorite since their eponymous 2006 debut." Listen for yourself by heading over to the band's site where Lightning is streaming [...]

Matt & Kim at Sasquatch 2011 / photo by Alex Crick Since even before their 2006 debut, Brooklyn's Matt & Kim have been winning legions of fans with their fierce DIY aesthetic and energetic, shout-inducing indie rock. Both graduates of visual art at Pratt Institute, Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino taught themselves their instruments (keyboards and drums, respectively) on forming the band, and what was youthful exuberance then is well practiced exuberance now! The two have only strengthened the qualities that have made them so endearing. Following the release of their [...]

Oberhofer will be hitting the road with fellow Brooklynites, Matt & Kim, in what is guaranteed to be one of the most energetic tours of the Fall. The band will be heading out on their second national tour of 2012 in support of their acclaimed Glassnote debut LP, Time Capsules II. Matt from the indie-pop duo says, "We are so stoked to have Oberhofer come on this Fall tour with us! We want every night to be really fun, bad-ass and awesome, for our audience and for us. [...]
Matt & Kim are back with another taste of sunshine to sweeten the end of your summer. The Brooklyn-based duo just released “Now,” the second single from its upcoming LP, Lightning . Back in June, Matt (Johnson) and Kim (Schifino) gave us “Let’s Go,” an infectious, bubbly track with an athletically impressive video to boot. “Now” turns the duo’s signature happy-rock up a few notches to the level of frenzied ecstasy. The track and its potentially seizure-inducing lyric video are dizzying without losing the duo’s inherent cuteness. Watch it above for an [...]
The music video for Matt and Kim’s "Now" might make the new single the first industrial-electro-karoake crossover ever. But standing in place and singing along are not really what the track prescribes. Rather, the aggressively ... read more
