Description
For many bands, making music is all about the routine of recording an annual album, or being able to tour in progressively bigger venues. Not Matt and Kim. "Our goal is to make music we want to hear," says Matt Johnson, who co-founded the band with Kim Schifino in 2004. Matt and Kim's enthusiasm comes across loud and clear on the band's new album, Lightning, its most diverse and developed to date which is set to be released this fall. From the relentless drive of "Now" to the dance-fueled beat of "Let's Go" to the more contemplative "Ten Dollars I Found," Lightning is the strongest distillation yet of Matt and Kim's unique sound: a spunky hybrid of indelible songs, an emphatic beat and almost tangible energy, mixed with the duo's influence of listening nonstop to Top 40 Hip-Hop and pop-punk.
