It’s the most wonderful time of the year; summer is almost upon us, and it’s time for a serious jam session. Boy meets girl, boy and girl make magic. One of my favorite duo’s, Matt & Kim, will get those car windows down and speakers up. Good Ol’ Fashioned Nightmare will take you down the “side streets of life”. It’s about accepting the fine and terrible in people and in life, something we all deal with everyday of our existence. While their upbeat dance-pop is fresh, their ethic is straight outta’ the early ’80s, and it’s totally attractive; legwarmers and headbands welcome. I’m sure you have all seen the masterpiece of nakedness for Daylight, but trust me, Matt & Kim are more than hard bodies.

Two people with only drums and keyboards; the sound is minimalistic, but the higher level of production fills out the sound in a positive way. The lyrics don’t make too much sense upon first listening, but that’s part of the charm: “The skyline looks brighter tonight, let’s go smash out every light”. The beat will make you want to do just that, but please kids, don’t try this at home. Smack in the face sing-alongs that roll off your tongue whether you want them to or not.

Add Brooklyn’s darlings Matt & Kim to your summer playlist, and dance the night away. Although the album has been on the shelves for a little while, find a new track and bang the shit out of it. Their insistent, invigorating sound will leave you wanting more.
