The Brooklyn indie pop outfit Au Revoir Simone features Heather D’Angelo, Erika Forster, and Annie Hart. Borrowing their name from a minor character in Tim Burton’s comedy favorite Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, the Casio-centric group came together in late 2003; Forster and Hart befriended one another while traveling by train from Vermont to New York. From there, they became fast friends and began writing songs. D’Angelo and Sung Bin Park (keyboard/vocals) were added to the dreamy pop fray after sitting in on many practice sessions, but Park left in January 2005 to pursue other projects. A year later, Au Revoir Simone issued their debut album, Verses of Comfort, Assurance & Salvation. It was self-released in the United States and appeared on Moshi Moshi throughout Europe. Through the Backyards was included in the season finale to Grey’s Anatomy in spring 2006. Au Revoir Simone’s second album, The Bird of Music, was released on Moshi Moshi Records one year later.
