REVIEW: Au Revoir Simone - Still Night, Still Light

7.5 out of 10

"Still Night, Still Light" is Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone's third release, and possibly their best. Au Revoir Simone have been developing their form of infectious Indie-Electro-Pop/perfect day dream music since 2003 and have been receiving high praise for it ever since.. and yes, they deserve it.

Fans of "604" era Ladytron will rejoice over the sugary electronic pop sounds and fans of Azure Ray will be pleased with the heavenly fragile female vocals. The songs are extremely catchy and never unpleasant. There are about 5 instruments used on "Still Night.."; keyboards, drum machine, mellifluous vocal harmonies, keyboards, and keyboards. I don't need to a lot to say about Au Revoir Simone because I believe their music will speak for itself once you listen to it. You will be humming along, tapping your foot, and possibly bobbing your head for weeks after listening to them.

Uncomplicated-Delicate-Electro-Pop done in the best possible way. RECOMMENDED.
