Au Revoir Simone is an indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York that formed in late 2003. The group consists of Erika Forster (vocals/keyboard), Annie Hart (vocals/keyboard), and Heather D’Angelo (vocals/drum machine/keyboard).
The band name comes from a minor character in Tim Burton’s Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.
NME said in an article about the band: "Au Revoir Simone must have beamed in from a land where lace clouds breeze over crystal lakes and icicles grow from the warm earth. This New York three-piece's glorious synth-lead alt-folk will leave you crying on the stairs in the middle of the night."[citation needed] The group defined itself as playing "warm and electronic music with forthright female vocalists."
"Powered by vintage keyboards, a lockstep beat-box, and gorgeous, wide-eyed warbling, the Simones create make-out music for your inner android" - Spin
"melody-laden loveliness" - Q Magazine
