Brookville Discography of CDs

Brookville discography Andy Chase has always been the George Harrison of Ivy. Adam Schlesinger has Fountains of Wayne to show off his pop songcraft muscles, and with her Europurr of a voice and those nouvelle vague looks, Dominique Durand is always going to be the trio's focal point. In Ivy, Chase fades into the background almost by necessity, but his second album as the primary driving force behind Brookville suggests that the singer/songwriter simply isn't the extroverted type. These 13 songs are quietly melodic midtempo reveries, lacking the Continental lounge feel of Ivy's best work, but with a similarly effortless, unhurried feel. Even the cover of The The's angsty "Slow Emotion Replay" (one of those '80s college radio nuggets that's at the heart of Chase's musical universe) is delivered in a breathy wisp of a voice over a polite musical backing that sounds like 16 Lovers Lane-era Go-Betweens. Anyone who likes Ivy (or the solo work of James Iha and Eric Matthews, both of whom guest here) will like Brookville's stylish indie pop elegance, but Life in the Shade is a descriptively titled album that never quite bothers to break a sweat. ~ Stewart Mason Audio Mixers: Andy Chase ; Steve Osborne.

This lush, atmospheric project had been in the works for a few years, giving Chase ample time to shape a smooth sound on ...

Brookville CD discography In case you're wondering: yes, this is still Brookville, the alter ego of Ivy lead singer Andy Chase. And yes, this is a departure from 2003's Wonderfully Nothing and 2006's Life in the Shade. Broken Lights is an authentic look at the dismantling of Chase's life, an evocation of a period in which the weight of wearing too many hats caused the studio owner/record label founder/producer/singer/songwriter to fully retreat from his life and dissect his very reasons for being. When artists dig that deeply, they ...
