The Brooklyn trio follows up its impressive debut EP with this full-length album of gentle three-keyboard sonic massage. The cheesy drum machine and breezy vocals create a wistful atmosphere that support delicate, sweetly droning melodies, but the music is more complex than first meets the ear. "Sad Song" juxtaposes a percolating Casio beat and breathy singing with a somber, minor-key riff that makes sadness seem downright pretty. "Fallen Snow" is a jaunty number that rocks harder than the typical song here, but also features the most baby-doll-like vocal of the album and a mesmerizingly off-kilter bridge. By playing with expectations this way, Au Revoir Simone makes their deceptively simple formula compelling.
Au Revoir Simone: Hether D'Angelo, Erika Forster, Annie Hart.
Additional personnel: Adam Crystal (violin); Julia Kent (cello); Shane Endsley (trumpet); Ryan Keberle (trombone); Doug Marvin (drums); James Cecil (shaker); Josh Abbott (tambourine); Christian Owens, Cameron Bird, Kit Pongetti, Graham Parks, Maya Kishi Okolovska, Rachael McCartney, Keith Murray, Rod Sherwood (background vocals).
Spin (p.90) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Powered by vintage keyboards, a lockstep beat box, and gorgeous, wide-eyed warbling, the Simones create make-out music for your inner android."
Q (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[They] build their way to stately, melody-laden loveliness with a mix of feisty indie synthesizers and an irresistibly catchy, more ambitious approach..."
CMJ (p.44) - "[They have] found a comfortable niche straddling accessibility and indie cachet, using sincere female vocals and melodies."

Bird Of Music music CDs
$13.39
Part of the Tzadik label's Radical Jewish Culture Series, which sought to highlight great music by Jews (instead of focusing on music with distinct Jewish cultural influences, though the two are not mutually exclusive), Great Jewish Music: Marc Bolan is also part of a smaller series of tribute albums put out by the label. The diverse lineup of honored artists, which includes Serge Gainsbourg and Burt Bacharach, is presented on albums that feature interpretations by some of the avant-garde and experimental community's most talented musicians. Bolan may seem like the gritty odd-man-out in such company, but John Zorn, the creative force holding the reins at Tzadik, knows an influential musician when he sees one. Indeed, ripples of the impact that Marc Bolan and his band T. Rex had on punk and rock musicians can still be felt more than two decades after his death. His delicious creepiness is all over this album, especially on Kramer's version of "Get It On," where a child's voice singing over up-tempo drums ...
