Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino are animal lovers, but because they’re on the road nine months out of the year as indie pop duo Matt & Kim , the Brooklyn couple isn’t able to have a pet right now. “Kim and I have wanted a dog for a long time,” Johnson said recently from a tour stop in North Carolina. “In Atlanta ... we visited the shelter and walked some dogs.” While they are unable to be dog owners themselves, the two are using their current tour – which stops [...]
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" . [...]
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. [...]
Brooklyn duo Matt and Kim's 4th studio album, Lightning , is officially out, and as an added treat, they're released visuals for each song on the record.

You can see the lyric visual stream for "Let's Go" below and check out the rest of the tracks here . Lightning Tracklisting: 1. Let’s Go 2. Now 3. It’s Alright [...]
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. [...]

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 are all grown up. Who knew the rambunctious duo would stay on course for this long with four full length albums. Their latest album, "Lightning," is available everywhere today (stream below) and last night the two posted up on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to perform the upper cut of a track, "Let's Go." Thanks to the Audio Perv for the video. Matt & Kim x Notorious B.I.G.-Juicy Cameras (Dave Wrangler Mashup) LIGHTNING TOUR 2012 [...]
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 [...]

Matt and Kim’s new single “Let’s Go” is available now and is a mixture of their original indie pop summery beats and calming vocals. The ooh’s and ahh’s definitely make the track do what it does best; it makes you want to get into your car, drive, roll your windows down, and “not care”. Which is, coincidentally, what the lyrics state Matt & Kim want to do. Have a listen and check out the video which features Pat the Roc’s impressive basketball talent! “Let’s Go” will appear on their forthcoming album called Lightning , which will [...]

The cutest duo there is, Matt & Kim are set to release their 4th record, Lightning . We can now watch a video for first single, “Let’s Go”, which features some remarkable dribbling skills and the lad and lady looking all cool on the bleachers. This is the same emphatic, energy starting sound that we come to expect and love form the band. This is probably the one band you never ever want to see change. While the new record won’t be out to Fall, this should hold us over just fine.
El dúo estadounidense presentó Let's Go como primer corte de difusión de lo que será su nuevo disco, titulado Lightning. Conocelo a continuación con su video promocional. Lightning saldrá a la venta en algún momento de nuestra primavera.

Last week New York jovial indie-pop duo Matt and Kim announced that they'd finished work on the follow-up to 20102s Sidewalks and that we'd hear the first track from it next week. Well next week is now this week and as promised, the first cut from the album Lightning is here, complete with an accompanying video of a dude doing some pretty slick basketball moves. It's not an official video, but more of a placeholder, something to watch as you [...]
Matt Johnson , o "Matt" da dupla Matt & Kim demonstrou seus talentos como jogador de baquete no video teaser do mais novo single da banda, Let's Go . O vídeo em si não mostra muito da faixa, que sai amanhã, mas é, sem dúvidas um belo arremesso do meio da quadra feito pelo vocalista e guitarrista. Let's Go faz parte do quarto disco da banda, intitulado Lightning , que sai em nossa primavera (ou seja, só depois de setembro). Confira o teaser e a capa do [...]
