Class Actress - More Than You

Class Actress was the subject of one of my very first blog entries for Ooberus Oblivious back in 2010!  After releasing their AMAZING debut EP ("Journal of Ardency" 2010) and excellent debut album ("Rapprocher" 2011), the band went dormant as far as new music.  Released last week, much to my heart's delight,  there's a new Class Actress song making sweet love to our ears.
The song has a nice fresh sound but still sounds exactly like the Class Actress we all love. Welcome back darlings!!!
