Brooklyn’s singer-songwriter Elizabeth Harper’s new act, Class Actress, is quite a change from a capella web-only cover-band Girl Crisis, where she sings along side the sweet and soft vocals of several other leading ladies, such as Caroline Polachek from Chairlift and Erika Spring-Forster of Au Revoir Simone.
When you listen to Class Actress’ debut album, Rapprocher, released in October on Car Park (home to Memory Tapes, Toro Y Moi and Beach House), it’s pretty much like setting a time machine to London in 1981: with a sound that could be described as lo-fi New Wave, the oh-so-80s heartbreaking, melodramatic lyrics walking hand in hand with catchy electronic tunes will crimp your hair right, broaden your shoulder pads and have you campaigning for Reagan.
bou ja oubir! ;)
