Brooklyn duo Matt (Johnson, keyboards) and Kim (Schifino, drums), having met as students at
Pratt Institute, soon began collaborating musically and were quickly recognized for their
thunder-punching, melodic mix of indie punk and dance. Pitchforkdescribed their sound as
“melody so happily jerky and rhythms so dangerously spastic that you can practically hear
paroxysmal crowds pogo-ing madly...Johnson sings and thousands of other kids in his zip code
(and others like it around the country) feel like he’s describing their Saturday nights.” It wasn’t
long before Matt and Kim went on to a string of successful album releases and rose to the top
as the go-to live band for raw exuberance and dance-ready anthems.

Their 2018 albumALMOSTEVERYDAY(FADER Label) was written during Kim’s extensive
recovery after an injury in early 2017 sidelined the band for a year, the longest they had ever
been off the road. They used that time to create one of their most personal albums to date. For
the first timeever, friends contributed vocals to the album including Mark Hoppus, Clairo,
Santigold, SWMRS, Flosstradamus and more.First single “Forever” was premiered on Beats 1
by Zane Lowe who chose it as his World Record. Post-release remixes of album stand out
“Happy If You’re Happy” took the song, the first love song Matt ever penned for Kim, to new
heights. Also, Matt and Kim wrote and recorded “Come Together Now” for the LEGO 2
