We bring you Fascinations Grand Chorus’s Actor/Actress EP that revels in an eternally classic where vintage twentieth century sounds feel as fresh now as they did back in the day. That classic combo of Souvenir Stand’s Stephanie Cupo with Chalk & Numbers’ Andrew Pierce will continue to win you over with the timeless “When You Make Up Your Mind” with offers up something for the ambivalent yet amorous. The title track “Actor/Actress” tackles the acts we act & roles we play, followed by “Up To You” which turns a two-square schoolyard game into an adult matter of what happens when the ball is the other individual’s court. Issues of being everything to everybody run up against the reality with FGC’s own unique wall of sound where the grounding checks & balances of gravity & social physics is done up in one epic send-up that will leave you hopeful & smiling for hours long after the EP has commenced. The power-duo of Fascinations Grand Chorus is an act to keep a close eye & ear on.
