Even with three fine albums to its credit, the excellent New York pop trio Ivy never quite got its due. With fellow Ivy songwriter back to work with Fountains of Wayne, Andy Chase’s other songwriting force has initiated his own project, Brookville, which at times also involves multi-instrumental buddy Eric Matthews and co-producer Jean- Pierre Ensuque. Not surprisingly, songs such as “Walking On Moonlight” and “Sweet Sensation” recall some of the more sophisticated moments of Ivy, with Chase doing his best chanteuse impression on vocals.
