Synopsis
MIDI MATILDA - The modern indie band happily discusses its DIY ethic, but follows a rather traditional path single, video, album, tour, repeat. And you can bet there are rather large and involved machinations behind the scenes. Then theres Midi Matilda. The San Francisco based duo Skyler Kilborn and Logan Grimé comprise a rather unconventional but extraordinarily catchy electro pop duo thats more than happy to do everything themselves: songwriting, instruments, audio engineering, producing, video production, artwork, even live shows (Just the two of us does make touring easy, notes Kilborn.) Its not like were against collaborating, says Grimé, Midis drummer. Were just really hands on with everything.Which means theyre not doing everything by the book. And were not discussing Midi Matildas new album. Because... there isnt one. Instead, were discussing songs the band chooses to release when they feel like it. Songs that get time to develop a vibe, life and story of their own. We want to be putting things out on a regular basis, says Grimé. Its not just us releasing one big chunk of art a time. Thats why we love making music videos I feel like it gives each song more focus. Whatever we release, I want people to feel like theres a lot of care going into it.
