Mackeeper\u2019s explicit aspiration towards being in the mega-mainstream feels relatively rare in an era defined by microscenes and aesthetic niches. To listeners, it may also be surprising: their music bristles with a wild, trickster energy.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Their coming debut album <i>Believe You Me<\/i> (out October 16 via In Real Life Music) circles a sound that is part radio-rock and genre-bendy pop.

He tends to tilt his head down while speaking, his gaze trained ahead like he\u2019s exploding something with his mind. Cohen, on the other hand, is wily, constantly moving and darting his steely blue eyes.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Harwood, 35, is six years older than Cohen. The brothers grew up in the DC suburbs of Maryland, the children of fine artists who worked in advertising. From early on, music \u2014 specifically uber-popular pop music \u2014 is what energized them. They cite the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> <i>Now That&#8217;s What I Call Music!<\/i> which compiled top radio hits on CDs as an early fixation. When coming into tweenhood, Harwood got Audacity and then Fruity Loops: \u201cI was the white boy who made beats. That was my archetype.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            When Cohen was four years old, Harwood made a fake \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5qm8PH4xAss&amp;list=RD5qm8PH4xAss&amp;start_radio=1\">In Da Club<\/a>\u201d-style beat and recorded a barely post-toddler Cohen over it. \u201cI think my name was DJ White Shadow,\u201d Harwood recalls of his childhood producer days.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Those early expereinces sparked something in a young Cohen. When he was a bit older, he began to teach himself Fruity Loops, \u201crecreating, [with] no twist,\u201d early Kanye beats like \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q1ViJEYNki4&amp;list=RDQ1ViJEYNki4&amp;start_radio=1\">Drive Slow<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TwPCaWQIJME&amp;list=RDTwPCaWQIJME&amp;start_radio=1\">Gone<\/a>.\u201d When Cohen was in high school, his friend taught him guitar and he joined some local rock bands. Meanwhile, though, he began making his own solo music on Ableton, but he never released the \u201cthousands\u201d of songs he made. \u201cI always knew that I would have a band one day of my own, where I&#8217;m the singer and I&#8217;m writing all the songs,\u201d says Cohen. \u201cIt just didn&#8217;t happen for a while.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;

During that time he directed zeitgeisty music videos including SOPHIE\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s Okay To Cry,\u201d \u201cPonyboy,\u201d \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=es9-P1SOeHU\">Faceshopping<\/a>,\u201d Charli xcx and Rina Sawayama\u2019s \u201cBeg For You,\u201d and multiple visual collaborations with Blood Orange and Porches. But despite the big name credits, he describes the late 2010s-into-COVID-period of his career as \u201cwasting away on Calypso\u2019s island.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cMaking music videos is not a career,\u201d Harwood says. \u201cYou can become a creative director and barely eke out a living doing that.\u201d He says his turn towards music felt like a \u201chave to\u201d situation. \u201cI have something to say, and I unfortunately love music so much that there&#8217;s nothing else I can do.\u201d Meanwhile, Cohen was living in Philadelphia, working at a falafel restaurant, \u201cnot thinking about any career or future.\u201d With no plan or timeline, he still had a sense that \u201cmusic&#8217;s just gonna happen because I believe in myself,\u201d he tells me. As COVID took hold and work dried up, Harwood locked in on music and re-connected creatively with his brother as Mackeeper.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            They recorded much of their debut EP <i>Rock Candy<\/i> on their childhood home\u2019s back porch in Maryland. It features their early breakout hit \u201cPieces Of You,\u201d a boom-snap sea shanty which centers Cohen\u2019s impressive upper range. The songs are direct, dense, and ear-wormy. \u201cThey\u2019re not songs that develop,\u201dHarwood says, stone cold and serious. \u201cThey don\u2019t have scale or scope. That\u2019s what makes them feel great. Precious little sushis, independently.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-285181\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mackeeper \u2013 Pieces of Yours (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lKq6OiXCLqc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-285187\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            The EP got love on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> from Dev Hynes and Lorde, who shared the song on her Instagram story. (She found it through Hynes&#8217;s own social media). The major looks, so early in their career, could make them seem like \u201cindustry plants;&#8221; the term is, ironically, Harwood\u2019s username on Instagram. Plus, he <i>does<\/i> have deep, enduring creative relationships in the industry from his years as a music video director. But clout among major artists isn\u2019t their goal. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to reach professional, amazing artists that we respect,\u201d Harwood says. \u201cWe&#8217;re trying to reach real human people.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            On an internet overrun by streamers, bot farms, and hoards of influencer-musicians, a story-share from a celebrity isn\u2019t enough to break through. With that, the tone Mackeeper has with me is far more obstinate and dogged than it is entitled. The popstars-to-be are eager to prove that they\u2019re legit and to properly launch their music career. \u201cYou feel like you&#8217;re in a Moroccan souk,\u2019&#8221; Harwood says about selling and promoting their forthcoming  debut album, fittingly titled <i>Believe You Me<\/i>. The title is part-challenge, part-command to believe the boys when they tell you that they\u2019re superstars.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-285188\" class=\"content_block paragraph image triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/mackeeper_TheFADER_24_krrsbq\/mackeeper.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Mackeeper wants their pop music playing in Walgreens\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      Mackeeper.<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><br \/>\n      \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-285189\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            Half of the album was written and recorded in an Airbnb in Livingston Manor in Upstate New York, before the duo tinkered on production for months and later re-recorded certain tracks in Virginia. They describe the new album, 13 tracks of musical flexes made for the pure fuck-it-rush of it all, as akin to when they were kids and would cry out \u201cmommy, look!\u201d Both <i>Rock Candy<\/i> and this album were finished before they\u2019d released any music, so their confident pop sound and stylings were all fashioned \u201cwithout proof of anything working,\u201d Cohen says.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            You can hear that churlish and pugnacious spirit on album single \u201cHoly Moses,\u201d a drifty bit of cowboy rock. Its lyrics nod to their full-tilt moxy to make it: \u201cShow me the dotted line \/ I got a tiny box with a diamond inside,\u201d goes its rapped and heavily distorted verse. On tracks like \u201cAll City,\u201d the brothers let the bars flow freely over atonal guitar (\u201cPlaying hopscotch on a landmine\u201d). And on songs like \u201cSoccer Ball,\u201d they lean into guitar twang and Alex G-style folks instrumentation. It&#8217;s the softer side of a duo whose music is heavy on braggadocio.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-285185\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mackeeper \u2013 Holy Moses (Official Music Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T0uPC0hQSlw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-285190\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            \u201cI&#8217;m not an insane singer, but I just sing this with a bratty confidence, then we can get any message across.
