All-Music Guide  |
The superb firstCLASS offers an enigmatic fusion of acoustic indie-pop and muted ambient textures; firmly
grasping the value of subtlety and economy, Class paint their fragile songs with fine, delicate electronic strokes
which never threaten to overwhelm the emotional tug at the music's core.

Splendid E-zine Give a listen to 'Overdose' and see
what a touch of electronic saavy can add to Class's already impeccable
sense of musicianship.
Fanatic Promotion Otherworldly is possibly the only conventional term that could be used to
describe the Boston duo Class. Using simple instrumentation comprised of
soft vocals, acoustic guitar, violin and keyboard, each tune on "first"
expresses itself with a whisper (or maybe telepathically), creating a special
intimacy for the listener.

CMJ Class is a welcome new
face in the world of independent pop music, bringing consistent optimism to each carefully crafted
track. Fill the air with...the dense strings and encompassing length of 'Overdose.'

Light Rotation This neat little release, which is also the first ever full-length on Double Agent, plays
like two different records smushed into one. The mixture of electronics, quiet minimal pop and violins make this a unique
record.
