“Don’t ask me why I obsessively look to rock ’n’ roll bands for some kind of model for a better society. I guess it’s just that I glimpsed something beautiful in a flashbulb moment once, and perhaps mistaking it for prophecy have been seeking its fulfillment ever since.”

Au Revoir Simone - Still Night, Still Light I’m the last person to criticize an album of melancholy music sung by sad girls. In truth, that’s the sort of music I listen to about 85% of the time. However, after several listens to Still Night, Still Light, the latest release by the trio Au Revoir Simone (of Brooklyn’s hipstercentric Williamsburg), even I had lost my patience. It’s not a matter of the sad lyrics, although they are uninspired. It’s simply the fact that the songs are utterly lifeless and dull. Rick@picturesandframesmagazine.com
