History[edit]
Annie Hart was born on Long Island, New York, and is one of three founding members of synth-pop pioneers Au Revoir Simone. She has been in other groups including Uninhabitable Mansions,[5] featuring members of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah,[6] and collaborated as a composer with French band Air for their soundtrack to Les Voyages Dans La Lune.[5] In 2017, she began releasing music under her own name apart from Au Revoir Simone[7] and embarked on a world tour.
She has appeared on screen along with the other members of Au Revoir Simone in Episodes 4[8] and 9[9] of the 2017 series of Twin Peaks. Her song, “Hard To Be Still,” appeared on episode one of the Netflix series, Gypsy, starring Naomi Watts.[10]
Musical Style[edit]
Hart’s music is considered minimal synth-pop. New York Magazine’s Bedford and Bowery describes it as “resonant, tender, and not too sweet”.[11] She primarily composes on electric piano and vintage synthesizers.
