A few days ago I caught the ad again.  This time my girlfriend commented that the guy in the commercial was “cute” (there’s no accounting for taste ;) ), but I was rocking out yet again to the song.  Ended up being a Barcardi Mojito commerical, and I decided to look it up.

The track in the video is Daylight from Matt & Kim, a duo from Brooklyn, NY.  Matt is a vocalist and keyboardist, and Kim vocalist and drummer, and you can find more bio details in their Wikipedia entry.   Also, have to give them credit for not only having a blog on their main site, but embracing the web as it is and  kicking it with Flickr.

Not only is Daylight a great song, but I’ve been bringing back my early Nintendo days with Cinders, in which the keyboards remind me of a sped up puzzle arcade game of some sort, but again with Kim’s catchy drum lines.

So for this Music Friday, check out Matt & Kim.
