Last week I received an EP from the Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone, Verses Of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation. I was immediately won over by their handmade CD sleeve, so I plopped in the disc to give it a listen. Their debut release reminds me of Stereolab at times, with their synthy sound and beautiful female vocals. They call their sound “lo-fi bedroom pop,” which seems to be appropriate. Word about their music has spread rather quickly, getting love from influential radio stations such as KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic. Hear what the buzz is about for yourself by checking out their MySpace page. The trio is embarking on a string of dates with The Double and We Are Scientists. Peep the dates:
