New York duo Matt & Kim caused a wee bit of fuss in the US last week with the unveiling of the teaser video for their new single 'Cameras'. Renowned for making amazing, quirky, low-budget videos, you can check out their latest teaser production below. The full video will be unveiled later this week.
Last week we also saw a rather fine mash-up between Matt & Kim and Jay-Z drop from DJ FMFC. Click here to check out the full album.
