We have a secret weapon at The Standard, and it comes in the form of a French-Moroccan music maven named Annie O. After years in the music industry representing such greats as Lou Reed, Philip Glass, Laurie Anderson, Pearl Jam, and Peter Gabriel, we nabbed her to curate The Annie O Music Series, a regular concert series in the airy Penthouse of The Standard, East Village.
On Monday, November 20th, Annie O brings Annie Hart to the Penthouse alongside Finding Thomas. Since Au Revoir Simone decided to take a break a few years back, Annie Hart's been forging her own path as a solo artist, and she's ready to show off her new album Impossible Accomplice. The two Annies connected before the show to talk her new music and what we can expect on the big night.

ANNIE O: Where are you based now?
Tell us about the journey of Impossible Accomplice. When did you start writing it and what was your vision?
What was it like working as a solo artist?
Definitely the biggest difference was not having anyone as a sounding board for my ideas. This was a true solo project, as I only had an hour or two to work on it at a time. No one else could collaborate with the time restrictions of working around a baby's unpredictable nap times. As such, I had to really learn through experience how to trust my own vision and sense of when something is completed. I feel like I've grown so much just learning to focus, listen, and trust my heart.
Is there anything in the works with you guys or are you all flying solo for now?
