S.Backer Music Movement

Genre: Indie pop
Released: January 20, 2009

If you follow my blog you will recognize this album from my top 10 list of 2009. Matt and Kim are a two piece band from Brooklyn NY who met at school in 2004. Since then they have released two albums "Matt and Kim" and "Grand". There is something to be said about a band who formed in 2004 not knowing how to play instruments and within a few years make the impact they have and continue to make. With only drums (Kim) and a keyboard (Matt) you just assume there is going to be catchy songs. Well your right everysong on the album is a catchy one. My favorite aspect of this album is Kim's ability to make her drum set her bitch by whaling on them throughout the whole album. Blink 182 bass player and singer Mark Hoppus is a large endorser of Matt and Kim. He put this album on his top albums of 2009 and this is one of the many things he said about the album "I love that it's kind of lo-fi, and shows they recorded it themselves. It's definitely not Dark Side of the Moon production. It sounds like two people having a great time recording in their apartment."
