Matt and Kim

TheBig3 · 07-09-2009, 10:45 PM

Boy with the Arab Strap meets A-punk...

The "soundtrack to Brooklyn." You've probably heard Daylight in the Bacardi commercial but the rest of the music is worth checking out.

Band: The lyrics composed from a handful of sentences written by Kim (drummer) and its another guy/girl duo but Matt's keys alternate between heavy-fuzz organ (its a setting on the keyboard) or the tin-y "pianer" jangle of ragtime piano.

In this way I'm guessing they're the sound track to walking into a 21st century Saloon in Williamsberg. If you haven't seen the commercial...

And if you have seen the commercial....

Let me know what ya think.

Really boring.

they wanted $2000 to play a DIY festival being put on by their friends, they're a couple of losers and they make shitty music too.

As far as I know, I have never heard their music and if it sounds as happy as those 2 look in every fucking photograph then I'd probably rather keep it that way.

I think Daylight is pretty catchy. I like that song.

oh absolutly.

ignore the others, this forum has cred to prove. Admittedly, the other song isn't their best one, but i tried to pick something left of center.

I lived in Williamsburg and I just moved to Michigan and I can tell you they're definately "Brooklyn"...If you ever taken the L Train they are without a doubt Bedford Ave.

I wont lie and say I heard anything from them before "Daylight" but I recent had to move out of state and when I saw the video and heard them I automatically thought Bedford Ave.

among my new favorite songs are "LESSONS LEARNED" (cool vid) and of course "DAYLIGHT"

I don't really mind their music, it's just light-hearted pop not meant to be taken too seriously. But to be honest, Daylight is the most annoying song I've heard this year.
