“One of the best unsigned bands in DC, [NST] is just now finding its feet with an increasing fan base…”

Product Description

No Second Troy recorded its debut CD “Fall” in the spring of 2004 at Bias Studios in Springfield, VA, the recording studio where the Dave Matthews Band recorded its platinum album “Remember Two Things” and where Mary Chapin Carpenter recorded a number of her Grammy-winning albums. Mike Fisher enginnered the record, and mastering was done by Grammy award-winner Charlie Pilzer. Beginning with an evocative instrumental introduction leading into the resonating Hedge, the CD ranges from upbeat guitar-based rock tunes such as Telephone, Last Best Thing, and Misbehaving to more atmospheric, piano-driven songs such as Teleology, Awaken, and Holding Pattern. And the band doesn’t even know what to make of the weird result of The Other Way, which it is still arguing over. However the music is categorized, Fall is pulled together by pulsing rhythms, ear-catching melodies, and lyrics that capture the search for ways to get past regret and break cycles.

Why haven’t I heard these guys on the west coast!? This sound is really fresh and the lyrics reflect such a range of emotions. Loving this album!

I think “fall” is a suprisingly professional and sharp debut album. The songs are very easy on the ears with enough lyrical and musical complexity to keep you interested and invovled in the music, and enough hooks to satisfy your need for memorable tunes.

As one who is primarily a fan of jam bands, I did not necessarily expect to find myself listening to this album repeatedly, but I have. The music is tight, the lyrics intelligent, and there is just enough fun mixed in to keep to the album from being pretentious. A purchase easily worth your time and money.

No Second Troy’s debut album, Fall is an unexpected pleasure. You can listen to it one song at a time and they are all straight up hits.
The album as a whole reveals a long soulful journey you can take over and over again and never arrive in the same place twice.
It is intelligent music you can think with your heart.

Follwing eras of agnst-ridden grundge and then sugar-coated, image-driven pop, it’s nice to find a band who realizes you can have musical and lyrical substance and still have fun. The comparison to Coldplay, DMB, Ben Fold’s and Remy Zero are well taken, but you’ll also hear influences as diverse as Josh Kelley, Billy Joel, and Bob Dylan. A great CD to have in the car or for relaxing with a bottle a wine at the end of the day. NST is also fabulous live if you’re lucky enough to catch them in the metro DC area.
