Matt And Kim’s “Hey Now” Premieres

MATT AND KIM RELEASE NEW SONG “HEY NOW” TODAY

FIRST LISTEN VIDEO HERE

NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM NEW GLOW OUT APRIL 7, 2015

Matt and Kim dance up a storm in the first listen video for their new track “Hey Now.” The song is available for purchase digitally at this link, and you can watch the fast, frenetic, and fun video here.

Following the recently released “Get It,” “Hey Now” is the latest from the Brooklyn twosome’s forthcoming fifth full-length album and first for Harvest Records, New Glow, out April 7. Pre-order the album on iTunes here.

Preserving a tradition of wildly energetic visuals, the “Hey Now” first listen sees Matt and Kim, aka Matt Johnson (vocals/keyboard) and Kim Schifino (drums), breaking it down in a single shot with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. It communicates their one-of-a-kind dynamic and feverish energy—guaranteed to make you repeatedly chant “Hey Now” after just one viewing.

In between steadily unveiling tracks from New Glow, Matt and Kim are currently preparing for their anxiously awaited spring headline tour; hitting major markets across the U.S., with additional shows going on sale this Friday (2/13) in New York and Los Angeles due to heavy demand. Details for those tickets and for all other dates on the tour are available here.

Matt and Kim met while attending Pratt Institute and quickly became known for their thunder-punching, melodic mix of indie and dance music. Right off, Spin said “there truly is no sound these two won’t use to support their almost religious commitment to spreading huge grins,” while Pitchfork described their quality 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.”

Previously, Matt and Kim’s video for “Lessons Learned,” in which they strip naked in Times Square on a very cold February day, won an MTV Music Award for “Breakthrough Video.” 2012’s Lightning (FADER) featured the Alternative radio hit “Let’s Go” and single “Daylight” was certified Gold.

All the while they toured the globe, becoming the go-to band for raw exuberance, bombastic beats, sing-along refrains and dance-ready anthems on larger and larger scales. They’ve performed at many, many major music festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Firefly, Summerfest, Big Day Out, Fuji, V, Pukkelpop and Ultra.
