Our single of the week (13th February 2009)
...according to our Brian on Thu 12 Feb, 2009.
Au Revoir Simone now, with a red vinyl 7", also on Elefant. Now this is the business. 'Summer Lines' reminds me in essence of Lali Puna's more gentle moments. A lulling keyboard over a casio style drum pulse & a dreamy sing-song female vocal that blows air gently into your ear cavity. There was a CD by a Swedish act called Adria I recall from years ago. Really minimal, brittle electronic pop with this sort of vibe, full of understated harmonies and a glazed with a classy European feel. Quite cherishable indeed, The flip 'Haunted House' recalls early Human League before a swirling keyboard jaunts into the picture and the chuffing beats go well Kraftwerk, a really playful instrumental oddity. What a pleasant surprise!Limited edition, red vinyl from Brooklyn trio.
AU REVOIR SIMONE have released two delicious albums, various singles and a recent release of a compilation of covers and remixes to date. A few of their songs have been included in the TV series, 'Grey's Anatomy' and NME has described them as the missing link between LADYTRON and CAMERA OBSCURA.
...according to Dev Khanna.
