AU REVOIR SIMONE (London Bush Hall, 06/05/09)



There’s something instantly likeable about Au Revoir Simone, quite apart from the fact they’re all quite stunningly attractive. This often helps to mask that the American synth-pop trio are far too willing to indulge in mid-tempo filler, when their strong point is their more inventive, prog-influenced material. It’s a shame, because when they hit the mark they’re very good indeed but overall, this is mostly an opportunity missed.
