What's The Story?
Matt & Kim are yet another band that showcase how grand a sound can be had with just two members. Daylight is from their second album, Grand.
Who's To Blame?
Neither a Matt nor a Kim.
Why ♥ It?
This is the kind of song that some will hear and say that it hardly changes at all. Though I tend to disagree, if anything it's a compliment that the song can run almost 3 minutes carried on the same thought and entertain all the while.
The intro is a piano piece that will become very familiar, it lasts for the duration. It's all about subtle changes; I won't point any out, but it's worth listening for when the piano deviates just slightly from the already established progression that's really cool.
The percussion is a great shuffle. I don't know enough about drums to explain exactly what Kim's doing, but the sorta-sounds-like-hitting-the-side-of-the-drum beat meshed with the occasional attention-grabbing snare hit helps the piano to make the song feel like it's walking along on a sunny afternoon in a busy crowd.
Songs that bring in an overpowering fuzzy bass to complement a repeating main line are allllll right. See 2:10 onward.
Daylight is reflective of the title: always happy, always moving, always refreshing.
