thursday soundbites, no. 12

This video was playing on a loop in the office last week -- it's Matt and Kim's "Lessons Learned," and not only is it an oddly transfixing video experience, it's also pretty decent music.

We posted the video on The Tripwire the day it premiered on MTV, and when I went to Matt and Kim's MySpace I stayed for a while and listened to some of their other stuff. "Lessons Learned" is a good tune -- solid hook, really catchy, infectious -- but my favorite by far is a song called "Daylight," which pairs synth with kick drum with bass and puts them underneath an elementary-sounding, tinny upright piano melody that's echoed in the voice to create three minutes that make me want to dance right out of my skin.
