Last year, during exams, I had the wonderful, eye-opening and completely oh-my-word-how-did-I-not-know-these-people-before experience of being introduced to Matt and Kim from Brooklyn. They are a couple (awww).
More importantly, however, they are not two random people, they are an indie-pop band (whatever that means). I also didn't actually meet them, I met them through their music. I think everyone should as well so I am just giving you a friendly introduction.
The astonishing thing about this band is they make this music with just a keyboard, a drum kit and the harsh yet energetic sound of Matt's voice. They do not need stages, light and sound technicians because, as you can see from these videos, they play their music anywhere and anytime. They have a D.I.Y approach to music.
I am now going to shut up and just let Matt and Kim do the talking.
Daylight: one of their first hit singles has been used in multiple commercials and accompanies the credits of a few series and movies.
Block after Block: An excellent example of their D.I.Y approach to music.
Lessons Learned: This video went viral on Youtube and won the Breakthrough Video Award at the 2009 MTV music video awards. Less importantly it is what first got me hooked on Matt and Kim.
Don't Slow Down: Just because its such an awesome song. It's my run on the treadmill song at gym.
Good Old Fashioned Nightmare: Just because your ears will be delighted.
