Matt and Kim – Lessons Learned
Nettwerk

The problem with doing a cool video is that it can often completely overshadow the song that it's supposed to help promote. Brooklyn duo Matt and Kim strip off in Times Square to the bemusement of assembled tourists. They escape the clutches of some coppers, before a bit of a surprise ending (although not such a shock to Mean Girls fans).

And the song itself? Soaring synths, slick drumming, and some serious/nonsensical lyrics – it could be The Killers with big Brandon replaced by a hipster lass and her skater boyf. Which is fine. 3/5
