About the Artist

New York's Andy Chase of Brookville, a musician and producer best known as a member of the band Ivy, is joining today's top tier of progressive artists who are taking complete control of their craft. With a highly anticipated new project, a freshly launched label, and a fully stocked NYC recording studio, Andy Chase's revered music career has just begun.

Flaunting a sleek and slender Euro-romantic sound, Brookville is beautifully rendered music that allows Chase to balance his talent for songcraft with his love of rich sonic landscapes and textures. It is in some senses a "solo record," on which Chase was free to explore the type of languid, atmospheric music that was only hinted at within the tight pop framework of Ivy's records. But the many contributing musicians on the album - including James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Eric Matthews (Cardinal), Jean-Pierre Ensuque (Autour de Lucie), Jon Skibic (Gigolo Aunts), Danny Wienkauf (They Might Be Giants), producer-programmer Michael Hampton, and many others - suggest that the making of Brookville's Wonderfully Nothing was also a collaborative effort that left ample room for experimentation and exploration.

Besides co-owing Stratosphere Sound recording studios in New York with James Iha and Ivy bandmate Adam Schlesinger, Andy Chase has co-produced and co-written all of the music on Ivy's three critically acclaimed albums, as well as Ivy's score for the recent Farrelly Brothers movie Shallow Hal. As a producer, he has enjoyed success with the French pop group Tahiti 80, whose debut album Puzzle was a critical and commercial hit around the world (#1 in Japan).

Wonderfully Nothing is on the Unfiltered Records label.
