about
Au Revoir Simone is an indie pop band from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, formed in late 2003. The band consists of Erika Forster (vocals/keyboard), Annie Hart (vocals/keyboard/bass), and Heather D'Angelo (vocals/drum machine/keyboard). The name "Au Revoir Simone" comes from a line in Tim Burton's 1985 film Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Known for a dreamy and synth-centered sound, the band blends influences from indie pop, electronic, and dream pop. Forster and Hart first met on a train returning to New York from Vermont and bonded over a shared interest in forming an all-keyboard band. Soon after, they recruited D'Angelo along with Sung Bin Park (keyboard/vocals). Park left the group in December 2004, leading to the formation of the trio. On March 23, 2005, Au Revoir Simone released their debut album, Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation, on their own label, Our Secret Record Company. Moshi Moshi Records later released the album in Europe on October 31, and the Rallye Label issued it in Japan. Critics praised its "ethereal" synth-pop sound, with Pitchfork describing it as “simple, elegant, and ethereal.” Their early performances and rising reputation led to significant tours, including their first in the US, Canada, and Europe in the summer of 2006 with We Are Scientists. The band's second album, The Bird of Music, was released on March 5, 2007, and included tours with Peter Bjorn and John and Voxtrot. British Vogue lauded their distinct sound, and Spin magazine describ
