Matt and Kim

TheBig3 · 07-09-2009, 09:45 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 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.

Some of my friends saw them live and said their between song rambling was really obnoxious. But I like both of their albums, they're a lot of fun.
