It's a singular chemistry between front woman Tahita Bulmer and Andy Spence that's marked New Young Pony Club as one of 2007's most talked-about, must-hear, must-see bands. NYPC singles "Ice Cream" and "The Bomb" have already proved irresistible. And they have made good on Tahita and Andy's hopes: to put the fun back in music, and get people dancing. Now NYPC have done more than perhaps would be reasonably expected of a great singles band: they've made a great album, Fantastic Playroom. It's everything you hope every album is going to be. Packed with tunes, yes - but literate, funny, sad, just-weird-enough, crazy, sexy and cool to boot. (Sometimes, dancebased music forgets it's allowed to be all these things.) From an undeniable "Get Lucky"/"Hiding On The Staircase"/"Ice Cream"/"The Bomb" opening salvo to the potential-future-NYPC-direction and quite Grace Jones-y "FAN" via the overtly pop "Grey", it gets everything right.
