I first saw Matt and Kim play last spring when they opened for Defiance, Ohio in some hipster’s loft in Brooklyn. Before they came on, I was expecting folk peace punk music in the same vein as the headliners but instead I was greeted with cheery minimalist dance music performed by a wide grinned female drummer, Kim, and a squeaky voiced keyboardist and vocalist named Matt.

The crowd bopped around like crazy and people swayed back and forth surprisingly not breaking anything in the dining room area of the loft. Since that night, I’ve kept tabs on the releases and shows of the Brooklyn native band. Recently, Matt and Kim released their first full release on Iheartcomix records and they opened up for Les Savy Fav at NYU a few weeks ago.

This band is definitely worth checking out. Below is the music video for the their song “5k.”
