Matt and Kim are Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino, a Brooklyn duo that has been making a joyful racket since 2004: Johnson singing and pounding keyboards, Schifino thrashing the drums, and the two of them grinning like they can't believe they get away with it. They cut their teeth playing lofts and other cramped rooms, and their shows became known for sheer energy and a habit of dropping samples from other artists into the mix.
Grand, in 2009, was the breakout. Its lead single, "Daylight", is a giddy, keyboard-pounding blast of good cheer that went gold, and "Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare" came with it, while the video for "Lessons Learned", with the pair stripping naked in Times Square, won the Breakthrough Video award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Sidewalks followed in 2010 with "Cameras" and "Block after Block", Lightning in 2012 with "Let's Go", and New Glow in April 2015 with "Get It". The festival stages came too, Bonnaroo, Coachella and Firefly among them, and Almost Everyday arrived in 2018.
