love me like you used to

i came across class actress in a daytrotter session a lifetime ago. while i'm not sure her sound makes a good complement to rock island's stripped down, analog environment, i enjoyed the free music that was offered to me, and promptly... forgot about it.

lo and behold it turns out she's actually significantly better with studio polish behind her. elizabeth harper's 2011 release rapprocher is, composition-wise, a top-to-bottom exploration of 80's style retro pop, with her lazy, nihilistic voice adding a modern touch; the conflict between the two is really what makes the sound what it is. and what it is is quite, quite good.

and of course, she's fucking gorgeous. i mean, honestly... why do i bother at this point.

here's two songs that she made.
