Au Revoir Simone – Still Night, Still Light
Posted on | June 9, 2009 | No Comments
Three voices, three creative minds and three vintage Casio keyboards are the elements that form the outstanding Still Night, Still Light. The third album from Brooklyn-based trio Au Revoir Simone is an electro-indie-pop universe, filled with stories of love, heartbreak, patience and acceptance, sung from the perspective of the relatable and familiar “I” to the elusive, yet unforgettable “you.”
The band’s pixie appearance and harmonious melodies juxtapose with the dark thread of loneliness that runs through their songs, with lyrics that revel in the discord that shapes an empty night and the confusion of shifting love.
Don’t let the deceptively simple approach of Still Night, Still Light fool you. The lyrics paint a picture of intricate emotionality, while the minimal, dreamy melodies provide the audience the space to translate and contemplate the relevance of those pictures in our own lives.
