Their first album, "The Bird of music" (following the 2006 "Versus of comfort, Assurance and Salvation EP"), was recorded in a basement with almost no budget at all. But don't let that confuse you - the album sounds great. Au Revoir Simone knows how to make your head shake around with joy and at the same time feel a bit sad for a reason you can't really understand - I guess it's something in their fragile voice that induce the Stereolab-Broadcast kind of feel.

 

Au Revoir Simone's MySpace profile reveals crazy touring dates all over the US, plus some shows around Europe. Hopefully with this determinedness and with them gaining some new fans everyday (thanks to blogs and general love from the internet), by the time that their 2nd Album will be released, they will have a major record label to support them, or at least some old-school promotion tools. In the meantime, for those of you who can't catch them live, Make sure to check out their cool happy/sad video for the Single "Sad Song":
