Actress Class



Class Actress - All The Saints

Here's another Brooklyn band that is "defining the sound of right now" according to New York Magazine. I would be too lazy to make a list of exactly 40, but I would say that it's pretty accurate--indie pop (or pop that isn't Lady Gaga)--is really just electro-synth beats buried under pop hooks. It's fun, careless and doesn't require analysis.

RCRD LBL:
Class Actress is: Guilty Pleasure. NSA dance music. Casual Encounters. Stalker Pop. "Depeche Mode meets early Madonna and Five Star as played on KTU Radio in the leather backseat of a cab". Class Actress is not: Acting Class.

Class Actress - Careful What You Say

  1. "Depeche Mode meets early Madonna" Now that is a description that makes a lot of sense. Also a good song... now lets see how long it gets played in my library.

    Also, thanks for linking the NYM article, since it's a good reference point for future artists to check out.

    P.S. I still am not sure what Lady Gaga is even.
