Au Revoir Simone are Heather D’Angelo (vocals, drum machines, keyboard), Erika Forster (vocals, keyboard), Annie Hart (vocals, keyboard); three beautiful musicians from Brooklyn (formed in 2003), New York that are in the business of making haunting electronic indie music and probably breaking a few hearts along the way. Looking like they’ve just walked off the set of The Virgin Suicides, they have matching long brown hair and fringes, and all play the keyboard, which is reason enough to dig them. You may have heard of the girls last year, when cult French label Kitsune included one of their tracks Through the Backyards. They also released a mini album, Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation that won them an army of fans. Many dedicated website has been created for Au Revoir Simone.

Simone is a waitress in the movie Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. When she decides to leave her dead-end, job, relationship and town to leave for Paris, Pee Wee bids her Au Revoir and wishes her the best in pursuing her life’s dream of living in France. That’s the reason of the name of this band name.

Why did they decide to use a French name? They are sayed to love France and certainly enjoy French music. Erika is a fan of France Gall, and she has been twice to France and really want to tour there. Au Revoir Simone looks like girls who people confuse for sisters. Heather D’Angelo thinks their image is more about what they exclude than include, and they try to exclude anything that conforms to or perpetuates mainstream ideals of feminine beauty and sexuality. As far as what exactly they exclude, they don’t wear a lot of makeup or revealing clothing, or bleach our hair, no fake body parts. They look natural. They all have long brown hair with bangs.

In February Moshi Moshi records will be releasing the sophomore records from the Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone.
