It's the Supersound

Most charming duo, Matt & Kim, collaborate with Soulja Boy and Andrew WK for Converse’s track of the summer, “I’m A Goner’. A nice mix of styles, though I personally can’t stand Andrew WK and Soulja Boy is one of the least proficient rappers ever, but a catchy tune nonetheless.

Matt & Kim – I’m A Goner

Featuring Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K.? Yea… you better believe it. I don’t know where this came from, but I am so in love with the idea. Enough said — this post is all music baby. Enjoy.

If you have ears and like having fun, Matt and Kim’s “Cameras” was probably one of your favorite songs of last year – I know it was on repeat in my car and party playlist for most of 2010. Always known for their great videos, the duo do justice to the best song on their most recent record Sidewalks –- the “Cameras” video sets those irresistible computerized horns and syncopated drums against a bloody practice-space fight to the death. Watch it once and you’ll have the song stuck in your head all day, but that’s not a bad thing.

One third of legendary New York hip hop ensemble Beastie Boys, Mike D, breaks out his trusty 808 for two reworkings of recent indie favorites. His take on Matt & Kim’s latest single “Cameras” (one of our favorite songs of the year) divides Matt Johnson’s vocals out of the original’s singsongy, cartoonish synthesized-horn backbeat and adds them into throbbing synth and skittering drum machine – it’s a vaguely sinister, appealingly different re-imagining. Check it out.

Matt & Kim face an interesting dilemma. They are a duo that has, for better or for worse, become defined by its breakout hit, the infectious “Daylight.” The song has become their calling card, the song that best encapsulates their vibrant energy. “Daylight” has been in TV shows, video games, and (shudder) in a Bacardi advertisement. So how do they prevent fading into the past, a footnote in the book of one hit wonders?
