SXSW review: Au Revoir Simone
Act: Au Revoir Simone
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Venue: Copa, 12 a.m. Saturday
Pre-show buzz: Their MySpace songs have an intriguing juxtaposition of electronica and sweet pop female harmonies.
High point: Pretty voices.
Low point: The harmonies showed little development or variation from song to song and quickly lost their novelty, and the singers’ detachment made for a static performance as well.
Post-show buzz: Major attrition after a few songs.
Afterthoughts: Watching the band wasn’t as much fun as watching the body language of couples first growing restless, then tentatively sharing their interest in possibly leaving, and finally slipping resolutely away together.
