• Sound

  All three members of Au Revoir Simone play keyboards and sing in the band, giving the albums an warm, dreamy, even other-worldly sound they have dubbed "synth-lead alt-folk." They are frequently compared to other bands making inviting electronic music featuring female lead singers, such as Stereolab or Broadcast, and cite Modest Mouse, The Mountain Goats, David Bowie and Belle and Sebastian as personal influences.
