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.
