New Young Pony Club: new rave or new disco? Answer: who cares when their music sounds this good? The London quintet might be a new phenomenon to some, but others will know them well, as they’ve been working hard behind the scenes for a good three years or so, building up a solid fan base to accommodate the release of this debut album. Fantastic Playroom, NYCP's debut album, is a romper room of fun and danceable beats. Singer Tahita Bulmer's voice sounds more like Imperial Teen (. frequently out of tune) than Sarah Brightman, but this isn't really a bad thing in this case.

Album · 2007 · 11 Songs. Standouts include, of course, Ice Cream (strong enough to survive being released two years before Fantastic Playroom); Get Lucky and Hiding on the Staircase, both impeccable interpretations of disco with punk flavors, and some great n on the former track; . which has a reverential Rapture vibe (the Blondie song, not the band); and the moody and seductive Get. Go, with its reverb and fuzzy guitars. Whether you call it electroclash, dance-punk, or new wave revival, NYPC is one club that may become a habit. Fantastic Playroom New Young Pony Club.

A slow release schedule is something New Young Pony Club do not have in common with most new wave bands. Roughly three years passed between the release of NYPC's first single and this debut album, a span of time in which many an '80s band fit a spate of singles, two or three albums, a bad major-label deal, and an ugly breakup. But, hey, why rush things? At this point it is apparent that neo-new wave bands will be around as long as the garage rock revivalists, so it's not as if the band should feel pressed to be prolific before the world leaves it and its peers behind.

New Young Pony Club took a gamble in scrapping an entire album and recording a replacement when they signed to the hip Australian label Modular.

New Young Pony Club have managed to record and release a debut record that surpassed all my (admittedly modest) expectations. Not only that, they've so thoroughly incinerated these expectations as to leave little doubt in my mind that this is the most impressive and assured debut record to come down the pike in many a year. Fantastic Playroom is the kind of album that sneaks up on you, earning repeated listens by dint of solid grooves and hummable melodies, but continuing to reveal its subtle charms and thorny ambiguities long after you think the novelty half-life should have faded. This is an album about female sexuality by and for feminists, a rejoinder to all the mindless pop tarts cramming the charts that they needn't check their brains at the door to be sexy, but conversely, a stark reminder that the line between sex and love is neither well-delineated nor easily bypassed.
