Matching Outfits at Hotel Vegas at Volstead
Matching Outfits are a trio of adopted Berliners whose warped, wistful take on indie pop has been compared to “a Super 8 film from the family attic”. The lyrics capture life’s major losses and minor inconveniences in gut-wrenching, occasionally hilarious detail, while bright keyboard chords and dulcet three-part harmonies morph into discordant freakouts and shout-along choruses. In 2022, the group released its debut album "Band Made Out Of Sand" on Berlin cassette label Kitchen Leg. In January 2025, they released the single "No Whiskey" on Hoboken label Bar/None Records and Dreams of Field Recordings. The band does not wear matching outfits, except when they do.
