OMG! I LOVE THESE GIRLS. They are the NEW sexy on a whole nother tip.
This is some of the most left of centre ish I have seen & heard in a long time. Right now guys & girls that do music are trying too hard to get their different on. And in most cases it comes of contrived. Not "Au Revoir Simone". (isn't that name dope?). The band's name comes from a line Pee-Wee Herman says to a minor character (named Simone) in Tim Burton's Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
Hailing from the BK. (That's in New York for all you squares) "Au Revoir Simone" are on something else. The only way I can describe their sounds is it's Tom-Tom Club meets Abba(minus the blonde hair) at the intersection of Senor Coconut & Berlin!!!
(Get your Goggle on if you don't know any of these bands).
They remind me of school teachers or librarians but sexier. They are so anti-obvious and not objectifying themselves that are they are hot! They will become what "Luscious Jackson" should have been. A blazing hot pop girl band that changes the game a little something.
Although I liked LUSCIOUS JACKSON, "Au Revoir Simone" have a pop appeal that is a hip sound from waay out! They are under the radar but I have a good feeling that MTV etc(If they are smart) we be all over this next year.
I am not really sure how this group came about. Or if it is some clever idea from some hip Downtown, Nolita, Lower Eastside, Willberg producer or the girls were just like "Hey let's get out our casio, roland, korg, alessis, rhythm ace, univox, yamaha, nord, and suzuki keyboards and drum machines. And make music that sounds like casio, roland, korg, alessis, rhythm ace, univox, yamaha, nord, and suzuki keyboards and drum machines".
Either way I am sol into "Au Revoir Simone". Can't wait for their album to come out....
P.S. You can lend and ear to "Au Revoir Simone" on their myspace page. Here's the link.
