You don't usually get much from two-person bands - just not enough firepower - but here's the exception to the rule.
Matt and Kim just bring the keyboards and the drums, that's all, and somehow make amazing music from it. This song, Daylight, is perky, peppy, fast, bouncy, choppy, and fantastic to slap into the iPod for running. This one can bring you back after a brutal uphill, and trust me, I've had a few uphills lately!
Here's a nice live version. And a wacky version with De La Soul providing guest vocals.
Enjoy!
