Oct 17, 2011You'd have to go a long way to hear a better synth pop album, no matter what decade you examine.
-
Oct 18, 2011Rapprocher does what last year's (s)excellent debut EP Journal of Ardency did so well, letting Harper be the pretty face of electronic compositions that, with her aid, become liberating, confident, oozing with inviting overtones.
-
Oct 19, 2011For the most part, Rapprocher is a tight little album full of melodramatic pop tunes dripping in '80s loving.
-
Oct 13, 2011This is a fantastically arranged and conceptually exquisite record, and as much as it feels like anathema to say that a contemporary pop highpoint has sprouted below the surface, in the case of Class Actress it's true.
-
Oct 13, 2011Like the recent offerings from the aforementioned pair, Rapprocher is properly cinematic.
-
Oct 20, 2011Class Actress still sound a little too weird to truly break through (and if they toned that weirdness down, this record just wouldn't be as interesting).
-
Oct 19, 2011This is a solid debut for the highly anticipated band.
-
Oct 13, 2011Nothing on this full-length debut is so insidious, though several tracks come close.
-
Oct 20, 2011The music is alive with all the right synth-pop touchstones: lots of mournful, ersatz orchestration; creepy, disfigured melodic overlays; and muscular funk undercurrents.
