   About MATT AND KIM






My Tuesday speech.

Today is January 20th 2009. I wake up to the television and the inauguration of Barack Obama. Something that has given me at least some bit of hope that the government of this country might ever start changing for the better, even a little bit. To start to deserve the right to be the government of all the rad people i've met in all the rad scenes in every city here in the United States.

And then, as i mentioned, it's January 20th 2009. This is also the day Kim and I's album, Grand, is released. You know how it is said, "the most difficult things you work on are the most rewarding in the end?" Well making this album was more than difficult to make, but i am more then proud of it in the end. Beginning 2007 with playing a keyboard in a winter coat and cut off gloves, sitting in a Vermont bedroom with no heat in December. Ending in 2008, mixing wearing only underwear, sweating at 5 am in a Brooklyn apartment with no air conditioning, after staying up all night in August.

And by no means am i saying all the hard work led to every lyric being sang in perfect pitch, or every drum hit being played in perfect time. The hard work led to make an album that is completely us (if that makes any sense.) I love every beat, and every melody and everything in between. So today, January 20th 2009, for me, is one hell of a day.

Matt

NEW ALBUM GRAND OUT TODAY - JAN 20TH


DAYLIGHT VIDEO!


a letter to RCRDLBL.COM

DAMN, it's been almost two years since Kim and I have released a single thing! In those two years our bodies have traveled... I guess... hundreds of thousands of miles?! Crazy when I think about it. Maybe that's why our friend Jay said, "I found this footage of you playing Fuck Yeah Fest 2006, and you looked so young." That was only two freakin years ago! So yes we put miles and years on these bodies, but with all the driving around in a 98' green Astro van I called President VANburen, there was little room for makin NEW music. By the way writing songs is one of my favorite things to do in the world.

For the past months, every spare minute we weren't touring we were working on a new album. We knew we needed to record somewhere we could feel creative, and for us, that wasn't a recording studio. We did the initial tracking in the bedroom I grew up in Vermont. It still has skateboarding posters all over the ceiling, silkscreen ink from making patches on the floor, and the memories of all the punks songs I wrote and recorded there since I was 14 years old, tucked away in boxes of 4-track tapes under my bed.

All in all, I feel the songs we recorded are the best music I've ever worked on in that room, or anywhere else for that matter. This song is the first anyone is hearing from our upcoming album GRAND. We chose GOOD OL FASHION NIGHTMARE to kick it off, in hopes that it'll serve you well for these last summer weeks.

here's a video for our song "yea yeah"! our friend nick chatfield-taylor and i directed. enjoy, the smell still follows me.
