Perfect example of a band growing over time. The Trolleyvox have been
around since 2000, a band we`ve always enjoyed, but with each album, that
feeling becomes a more intense and intimate affair. They describe their
sound as the sound of rainwater dripping gently from the nose of a paper
airplane outfitted with love bombs. Well, listen below and you decide, but
quality music this most definitely *is*, that is for sure. This new album
packs equal parts folk-rock and power pop into a hook-filled baker`s dozen
compelling tracks. If Chrissy Hynde and Bob Mould jammed with The Byrds,
or if Pete Townshend and Mitch Mitchell joined Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn in
early Everything But The Girl they might sound something like The
Trolleyvox. Gorgeous vocal and harmonies on top of layers of arpeggiated
guitars, percussion and piano combine to deliver emotionally impactful songs
with hooks that worm their way into your brain and dont burn out. " The
Trolleyvox have been working this potent groove of Beth Filla`s gorgeously
earthy vocals and Andrew Chalfen`s sinewy guitar and haunting songcraft for
the better part of a decade. Their new album and third release overall,
Karaoke Meltdowns, is a lush, melancholy and muscular display of the
quartet`s considerable and diverse talents."-CityPaper. Front and
center in the Trolleyvox sound is Chalfen`s dense guitar work and singer
Beth Filla`s bell-clear vocals. "I Am Annabelle" is ushered in with a
Townshend-ian lick before striking jaunty poses across an understated,
syncopated verse and chorus; "Deep Blue Central" also has an acoustic The
Who feel. "I Know That You`re High" touts a soft attack that knowingly winks
in the directon of The Byrds. The set skids a bit with the feather-light
strummer "Twilight Hotel," but is instantly redeemed by the infectious album
highlight "Joyride." It`s not all classic rock influence -- fans of the
Small Factory and acts like Miracle Legion will find a lot to like among
these 13 tracks. "The Karaoke Meltdowns" is the groups 3rd full-lenth CD
and features Beth Fillas gorgeous vocals on top of Andrew Chalfens
stand-out arpeggiated guitar work and memorable song-writing. More rocking
than their critically acclaimed 2nd album Leap of Folly, KARAOKE MELTDOWNS
is 13 hook-filled soon-to-be-classics of melancholy, freak-out and
lusciousness. Produced by longtime Trolleyvox producer/collaborator Adam
Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Lilys, Helium, Yo La Tengo, Hartley
Goldstein) and Brian McTear (Mazarin, Bitter Bitter Weeks, The Pernice
Brothers) these rich and melodic sonic journeys take on topics that cover
all sorts of modern-day meltdowns emotional, spiritual, relationship,
political, societal, personal, technological. Extremely Highly Recommended!
