Matching Outfits

With ultra-specific details and flashes of deadpan humor, Berlin lo-fi trio Matching Outfits relates tales of dissolving friendships, lost loved ones and insurmountable distances - between childhood and adulthood, summer and winter, Germany and rural Sweden. At the heart of the project is singer and keyboardist Linnea Mårtensson (formerly of duo Featherweights), who merges wistful indie pop with a playful DIY ethos that's further brought to the fore by bandmates Rachel Glassberg (drums/guitar) and Leah Corper (bass). Call-and-response vocals that convene into three-part harmonies, shout-along choruses, saxophone breakouts: whether on debut album Band Made Out Of Sand (Kitchen Leg Records) or in their live shows, you never really know what to expect.
