Sound

Both French powerhouses in their own scene, Au Revoir Simone and The Teenagers meet in the middle for a totally 80s sounding remix of Au Revoir Simone's "Shadows" track. It's synth-heavy pop perfection, and we weren't expecting anything less. The track original came from Au Revoir Simone's latest record, Still Night, Still Life, which really broke out the band in 2009.
