Annie Hart, best known as one third of Au Revoir Simone, has posted a video for her new single, Hard To Be Still.
The track is the first to be shared from her debut solo album, 'Impossible Accomplice', which is due out on September 15 through Instant Records.
Speaking about the song, Hart said:
"I have never been able to write a normal love song in all my days with Au Revoir Simone or before, despite having been with the same person since I was 21. They always had some element of tragedy, betrayal, or melancholy lumped in no matter what I did to fight it. Then when we were on tour in Portland, I stayed at a friend’s place who had this awesome Roland drum pad and a beautiful Rickenbacker bass. I hooked those up to my computer to record and suddenly everything started materializing: the bouncing lo-fi drum beat and rudimentary bass line seemed so fun and perfect together.
"By some strange miracle of being away from my husband and small child, I was finally able to properly say thank you to him for being supportive and doing his share as a parent, which a lot of women don’t get. I was also noticing some other men around at the time, who were hitting on me but were blatantly just after the obvious and weren’t really seeing me for me. And there was my husband, who knew all my neurotic tendencies and workaholic nature and never stopped loving me more surely or evenly for over 10 years. I’m glad I finally have that one nice love song about him."
Hart will perform at Margate's By The Sea festival on October 1 and London's Shacklewell Arms the following day, before heading to Paris for an appearance at Le Pop-Up du Label on October 7.
