Review

Spin (p.90) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Powered by vintage keyboards, a lockstep beat box, and gorgeous, wide-eyed warbling, the Simones create make-out music for your inner android."
Q (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[They] build their way to stately, melody-laden loveliness with a mix of feisty indie synthesizers and an irresistibly catchy, more ambitious approach..."
CMJ (p.44) - "[They have] found a comfortable niche straddling accessibility and indie cachet, using sincere female vocals and melodies."

Title Note

Au Revoir Simone: Hether D'Angelo, Erika Forster, Annie Hart.

Additional personnel: Adam Crystal (violin); Julia Kent (cello); Shane Endsley (trumpet); Ryan Keberle (trombone); Doug Marvin (drums); James Cecil (shaker); Josh Abbott (tambourine); Christian Owens, Cameron Bird, Kit Pongetti, Graham Parks, Maya Kishi-Okolovska, Rachael McCartney, Keith Murray, Rod Sherwood (background vocals).

The Brooklyn trio follows up its impressive debut EP with this full-length album of gentle three-keyboard sonic massage. The cheesy drum machine and breezy vocals create a wistful atmosphere that support delicate, sweetly droning melodies, but the music is more complex than first meets the ear. "Sad Song" juxtaposes a percolating Casio beat and breathy singing with a somber, minor-key riff that makes sadness seem downright pretty. "Fallen Snow" is a jaunty number that rocks harder than the typical song here, but also features the most baby-doll-like vocal of the album and a mesmerizingly off-kilter bridge. By playing with expectations this way, Au Revoir Simone makes their deceptively simple formula compelling.
