Every band in the land these days is drunk silly with the intoxicating pretensions of their own teenage symphonies to God, which almost always turn out to be unnavigable basements of clutter once the shrink wrap comes off.
Refreshing then, to hear Andrew Chalfen, the mind behind The Trolleyvox, aptly describe his group's sonic mission as creating "little model railroads of sound."
The whole Byrdsy/Beatley/Kinksy/New Zealandy construction has got all the cool detailed scenery and rolling stock a romantic guitar pop obsessive could ask for, not to mention a brooding lyrical undercurrent which sneaks up on the unsuspecting and bites them in the ass.
The City Paper called Ephemera for the Future "heart-tugging, gorgeous." "An impressive slippery presence" is how Digital City described the lithe voice of Trolleyvox lead vocalist Beth Filla.

Must've taken them years to build it.
