Matt & Kim

Matt & Kim is a electronic-influenced indie rock duo from New York City that's composed of Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino. With cheeky vocals and a DIY approach to its music, the band released its self-titled debut album in 2006, and subsequently collected a widespread fan base and critical acclaim for its buoyant rock sound. Filling short two-to-three minute bursts with raucous and extremely catchy pop nuggets, Matt & Kim manages to be playful without being overtly cutesy or sweet. The formula of tough but lighthearted attitudes and sounds has continued to work with each of the duo's passing record, including 2009's Grand and 2012's Lightning.
