NYPC are back with their second album, fresh and independently released and funded. Is this the right thing to do for a band like these Nu Wavers??
First impressions are always important, it doesn’t blow me away. I feel NYPC have lost the edge displayed so perfectly on their debut album. It’s tricky to find the anthems in this one. An album of driven bass and synth from start to end, the vocals weave in and out throughout but with no real cut throat edge or conviction.
The 5 piece from London have given it a good old go on this album but it just seems to fall a track or 4 short of a real hearty accomplished release. The band has obviously put an awful lot of time and effort chucked into this, so fair play for that, a very courageous move by the pony club to ‘go it alone’ with no real guidance from records label people. I can’t help but think maybe they still do need the guidance and support of the pros in the game to just nudge this ‘optimistic’ band to the next level.
