Au Revoir Simone - The Lucky One
I saw this trio a few months back with Oh No! Oh My! in Houston. An untimely cloudburst threatened the band’s mountain of cables and pianos as they were moving into the venue, so naturally my friends and I helped out and were able to talk with the lovely ladies before and after the show. It has been my experience that getting to know a musician’s general disposition usually induces a revelation for the ethos of the music that they create. Such was certainly true for Au Revoir Simone. Their gentle voices and thinly cracked smiles aptly reflect the whimsical lyrics and celestial melodies. Every time I listen to this album–which is becoming more and more frequent as winter approaches–I too crack a smile recalling the impassioned minds that collaborated to make such tender tunes.
I strongly suggest the album The Bird of Music.
