The Brooklyn duo, Matt And Kim's new single is called "Get It" and goes for Alt adds on January 27th via Harvest/Capitol Records. Their first album for Harvest Records will be released on April 7th is entitled New Glow. With this new album, the indie-dance duo who love hip-hop and pop music have made an album of undeniably catchy beat-driven anthems with hooks that just don't stop and just won't leave your head.
"We're dedicated servants to this," says Matt. "The best era of music is right now and we're doing our best work yet. I'm not sure we were able to put that diversity on any of our albums the way we did on New Glow," he says. "While there are definitely songs that will feel familiar to people who know our stuff, there are also songs like 'Get It' which have always been part of who we are but went unrecorded to this point."
Since forming in 2004, Matt And Kim (Matt Johnson (vocals & keyboards) and Kim Schifino (drums) have solidified themselves as the energetic "it" couple of indie rock. They are certainly known for their insanely energetic live shows. They have played tons of US festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, along with international festivals, and hundreds of shows, including a performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden. They've also won three MTV awards: an MTV VMA and an mtvU Woodie Award for "Lessons Learned" and a 2011 OMA award for Best Live Band. Their upbeat track "Daylight," is certified Gold, having sold over 900,000 copies.
Matt And Kim will be touring extensively this April and May in support of their new album, New Glow.
