The Trolleyvox make sheer chills-down-your back pop music that's informed by the Byrds, the Beatles, and the Who yet sounds thoroughly modern.


Editorial review

Although it was Fountains of Wayne's Welcome Interstate Managers that got the critical attention and sales during the summer of 2003, the second album by fellow northern New Jerseyites the Trolleyvox makes an even stronger argument for an artistic renaissance in the pop underground, a scene that had been stagnant and increasingly irrelevant for the preceding few years. Guitarist Andrew Chalfen's songs, tinged with a bit of melancholy even on spirited rockers like the glorious "Oregon Lanes," are a perfect fit for Beth Filla's warm, dusky voice. (Filla is a marvelous singer, occasionally resembling an American Tracey Thorn, whose vocals remind one that more jangly guitar pop bands should have female singers). Lengthy, minor-key tunes like "Green Light Cascade" and "Air Companion" predominate, but the album's highest point is the sardonic rocker "Le Fleur de Lys," featuring Chalfen's wittiest lyrics and most memorable melody, as well as a rueful empathy sometimes missing from similar Fountains of Wayne character studies. Leap of Folly takes a couple of spins to reveal its more subtle charms, but even on first listen, these 14 songs have an immediate jangle pop appeal. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

The Trolleyvox have completed work on their new masterpiece, Leap of Folly, and are now ready to share their opulent loveliness with an unsuspecting public. Fans of the band definitely suspect something grand and fine is at hand. It's been blowing minds on a daily basis (mostly of neighbors and loved ones) and soon, it'll be delighting your brain chemistry as well. Critics gushed over the "11 flawless pieces of pop perfection" (Magnet) featured on The Trolleyvox debut, Ephemera for the Future.

"For the sheer chills-down-your-back joy of pop music, you won't do any better than this debut album." - Magnet

Guitarist/songwriter Andrew Chalfen (Wishniaks, Joey Sweeney) and his talented co-conspirators crafted a cool, sparkling glass of pop...a perfect lazy Sunday listen, full of chiming chords and winding melodies (Philadelphia City Paper)...the ringing, big, hollow-body Rickenbacker-Byrds kind in sonic approach.
