Artist:Au Revoir Simone
Song:Trace a Line
Album:Still Night, Still Light
All three members of the indie band Au Revoir Simone play electronic keyboards and drum machines and they sing in harmony. So if that's what you are looking for, this could be for you. Au Revoir Simone are from the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY. The band name comes from a line in the 1985 film Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. They formed in 2003 when Annie Hart and Erika Forster met on a train and decided to form an all keyboard band. Erika had been in the band Dirty On Purpose. Annie was in the band Uninhabitable Mansions. They were joined by Heather D'Angelo and Sung Bin Park. Park left in 2004. So they were a three piece band when they released the 2005 album Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation on their own label. They got positive reviews and they toured. They released an album in 2007. Trace a Line is from the 2009 album Still Night, Still Light. The album did OK but the band went on hiatus until they returned with the 2013 album Move In Spectrums. And then they went on hiatus again. And they are still on hiatus. It is not known if the band will return. Erika formed the band Nice as Fuck with Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley and Tennessee Thomas of The Like. They released a 2016 album that may have been a one off. Annie Hart just released a solo album and she is on tour. They still have an active Facebook page so that tells me they may return. Here's Au Revoir Simone performing Trace a Line in Dijon, France 2009.
