Class Actress

London-based label Something in Construction just made everyone’s day with its Better Pop Music sampler, available as of this morning. The 19-song compilation is a grip of tracks from the likes of Air France, Freelance Whales, Caribou, Phoenix, and some up-and-comers, like Elizabeth Harper’s new project, Class Actress, and Bristol-based outfit Fitness Club Fiasco. Forests and tigers are apparently the theme for Summer 2010, and Memory Tapes (or his alter-ego, Memory Cassette) wins the award for most cameo appearances here.
