Au Revoir Simone: Only You Can Make You Happy (PUNCHES remix)

There aren't too many indie bands which consist of three very elegant and slender gals who play three synths and pretty much sound really rad as well. Au Revoir Simone first caught my attention when they released their debut album, Verses of Comfort, Assurance of Salvation back in 2005. Their sweet electronica chords and delicate riffs layered underneath angelic vocals in songs such as "Hurricanes" and "The Disco Song" separated them from other female groups and since then, they've gotten even better at it.

In 2009, they released their third studio album, Still Night, Still Light, and although it lacked the cohesiveness the first two albums had, "Only You Can Make You Happy" definitely stood out as one of the best tracks. For a very mellow band who has personified "ethereal" to another level, the intro was what impressed me. The beats dug a little deeper and the keyboard riffs tremendously sparkled  - even for them.

So, when I heard Brooklyn duo, PUNCHES, had officially remixed the song, I was curious to listen to it as a real dance song. Since the duo's mission is to "plan on setting the night ablaze in a club near" me with their indie disco vibes, I checked it out and guess what? It's good. It's really good. Check it out below!
