New Young Pony Club - Nypc (2LP)

Facts Double vinyl LP pressing. 2013 album from the band formerly known as New Young Pony Club. Recorded and self produced in London, singer Tahita Bulmer and multi-instrumentalist Andy Spence decided to shut everything and everyone else out. Their partnership is Nypc - and their creative chemistry and shared vision is what makes Nypc their most forward-thinking and refined album so far. They began to work on Nypc in early 2011. After they released their skittering single 'You Used to Be a Man' last May they realized this was the blueprint for the rest of the album - smart, minimal and sophisticated pop music that would be more intelligent than dumbed-down chart fodder. Nypc draws on the strengths of their last two albums but pushes it forward into new, uncharted territory proceeded by the coquettish rattle-and-hum of 'Hard Knocks'.
