New Young Pony Club (NYPC) is a five-piece electro band from London consisting of Tahita Bulmer (vocals), Andy Spence (guitar), Igor Volk (bass) Lou Hayter (keyboards) and Sarah Jones (drums), and they provide a kind of tight and bass-heavy future discoid noise. Partly inspired by LCD Soundsystem and a chance meeting of like-minded band members intent on establishing something potent, Andy and Tahita formed NYPC in 2005.
Ice Cream, their first single on Modular, was recently used in a television advert, commissioned by Intel for their new Duo processors.
Speaking about Ice Cream, “A lot of [the lyrics are] about the perceived idea of how women are supposed to be, and putting my twist on it,” says Tahita. NYPC’s sound is a punk funk jerkout that sounds like a distaff version excursion on disco-era Rolling Stones fronted by The Slits’ Ari Up, with production reminiscent of David Byrne and Brian Eno.
