 When New Young Pony Club first released ‘Ice Cream’ on Tirk Records in 2005, it felt like they were destined to become Favourite New Band to a lot of people. The 1,000 copies of the seven-inch slice of disco-punk heaven disappeared from indie record stores fast. No surprise really; they were good looking (exuding sexuality, but not stage-managed over-sexualisation), well-dressed, smart, funny, ever so slightly obscene. They came on like a frisky mix of !!!, Tom Tom Club, New Order and The Bangles. After signing to Australian new rave label Modular, they lived up to some of the early promise with killer tracks such as ‘Get Lucky’ and ‘The Bomb’ but, behind the scenes, things were already starting to become fraught. Talking to NME in early 2007, singer Ty Bulmer confided that they were already starting to grow worried at how the label was treating them and the extent to which they were being moulded as new rave scenesters. So while in private the band said they’d been begging to work with James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy of DFA Records or Diplo on their debut, they had to settle for a more perfunctory and workmanlike job that screamed of a band desperate to break the mainstream....full text |

They pull it off pretty well, turning in an album that, if anything, sounds more natural than their debut.
Clues ahead of release suggested the onset of a new direction. While it's undeniable that their sound has developed, it's still instantly recognisable as theirs. As soon as the bass on opener Lost A Girl twangs the album into life, there's no mistaking that it is a New Young Pony Club song. And Chaos could be The Bomb Mk 2....full text |

Let’s get straight to business: NYPC have grown up. Not only have they grown up but they’ve self-produced, self-funded and self-released their second offering ‘The Optimist’. Gone are the floor filling anthems of their climatic debut to be replaced by heady synth and bass drives that delve deep into emotional territories so neglected by previous material. The most exciting thing about this new ethos is that the band themselves are in control, which over time they will adapt, create a greater understanding of what they are trying to achieve and produce some stunning masterpieces. The tricky second album phase has been completed and it’s an excellent product. The future’s bright....full text |
