Class Actress is a star with 'Journal'

Class Actress' debut "Journal of Ardency" (Terrible) is deceptively simple, with pretty little melodies crafted to suit Elizabeth Harper's elegant voice. On "Careful What You Say" and the title track, the electro-pop is streamlined enough to come from 1981, with all the innocence and open spaces of that era. Even when the Brooklyn trio throws in some New Order-sounding bass and ethereal guitar on "Let Me Take You Out," Class Actress makes it sound like they just discovered how to fit these special pieces together.
