About Matt and Kim:
Matt and Kim, aka Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums), get things rolling in their exuberant style with a performance lyric video for the song Get It: Three minutes and seven seconds of heaven for anyone who has, or hasnt yet, seen Matt and Kims legendary live shows.
With New Glow, the duo who love hip-hop and pop have made an album of undeniably catchy beat-driven anthems with hooks that just dont stop and just wont leave your head. The best era of music is right now and I believe were doing our best work yet. says Matt.
Anyone who has seen one of our shows knows we love any style of music you can have fun and get wild to. Im not sure we were able to put that diversity on any of our albums the way we did on New Glow. While there are definitely songs that will feel familiar to people who know our stuff, there are also songs like Get It which have always been part of who we are but went unrecorded to this point. We helped edit a lyric video for Get It, using live footage from a handful of festivals and shows we played in the last couple years. Going through that footage really made it hard to believe how lucky we are to have the best f**king job in the world."
The two met while attending Pratt Institute and quickly became known for their thunder-punching, melodic mix of indie and dance music. Right off, Spin said there truly is no sound these two won't use to support their almost religious commitment to spreading huge grins, while Pitchfork described their quality as melody so happily jerky and rhythms so dangerously spastic that you can practically hear paroxysmal crowds pogo-ing madlyJohnson sings, and thousands of other kids in his zip code (and others like it around the country) feel like hes describing their Saturday nights.
Previously, Matt and Kims video for Lessons Learned, in which they strip naked in Times Square on a very cold February day, won an MTV Music Award for Breakthrough Video. 2012s Lightning (FADER) featured the Alternative radio hit Lets Go and single Daylight was certified Gold.
All the while they toured the globe, becoming the go-to band for raw exuberance, bombastic beats, sing-along refrains and dance-ready anthems on larger and larger scales. Theyve performed at many, many major music festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Firefly, Summerfest, Big Day Out, Fuji, V, Pukkelpop and Ultra.
