For today’s Track Of The Day ClashMusic present one of Brooklyn’s undiscovered treasures – Matt & Kim.
Matt and Kim hail from Brooklyn. They play sweet and sugary synth-pop. But life is never that straight forward…
Beneath their simple melodies and cute voices lies a complicated songwriting talent. Matt & Kim experience life just like the rest of us, only they fight to retain their innocence. Latest album ‘Grand’ was a case in point – their second long player it showcased a duo riddled with self-doubt and sexual tension.
Recent single ‘Daylight’ was given an overhaul by acclaimed producer TroubleMaker, who invited seminal hip hop troupe De La Soul to add some tasty rhymes. Taking Matt & Kim’s music as a framework the track is flipped into a dancefloor stormer.
Set to feature in the forthcoming EA game NBA Live 2010, the re-worked version of ‘Daylight’ effortlessly blends pop with electro, hip hop and more.
Listen to it now…
