Annie Hart (Au Revoir Simone) + The Natvral (Pains of being Pure at Heart)

Early show! Music at 8:30pm
TICKETS HERE

Annie Hart is a New York City-based composer, songwriter, and performer. She came to renown in the early 2000’s as a member of synth trio Au Revoir Simone, a favorite of director David Lynch, who featured the band in several episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return. Since the group’s hiatus, Annie has released two solo albums of “sumptuous synth-pop” (Vogue) that explore the fringes of new wave, minimalism and ambient. Hart’s reputation as a unique master of composition for analog synthesizers has led her to compose the score for two feature films released in 2020: Olympic Dreams (IFC), starring Nick Kroll and Alexi Pappas, and Banana Split (Universal), featuring Dylan Sprouse and Hannah Marks. Her new work for 2021 is Everything Pale Blue, an ambient album released on Orindal Records that is "both meandering and meditative, with Hart crafting a whole new world of her own through the gently lapping synthesizer explorations that absorb the listener” (Gold Flake Paint).


On this special tour, Annie will be touring her favorite small, selected spaces and projecting visuals to create a dreamy atmosphere as a backdrop for her new ambient works performed on a carefully curated set of vintage synthesizers. As the set progresses, she’ll add in old favorites from earlier albums and bring her bandmate Jane Herships (Spider) to sing and play multiple instruments. This is a rare chance to experience beautiful soundscapes in an intimate atmosphere filled with community ties and a warm, comforting energy. The shows include an opening set from Pains of Being Pure At Heart’s Kip Berman performing a lush solo set on electric guitar as The Natvral.
