Introducing... NYPC (New Young Pony Club)

I love NYPC (formerly New Young Pony Club). They're an electronic/new wave band from the UK that's perhaps most known for the single "Ice Cream", as it was featured in commercials for Nissan Cube and Intel
The band recently released their third album, 2013's self-titled NYPC, and it was my second favorite album of the year behind YEEZUS. The same thing happened in 2010 when their sophomore album, The Optimist, ended the year as my second favorite album behind another Kanye creation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Song of the Day: Autre Ne Veut - Counting


I'm at a loss for words right now. Have you ever listened to a random album and fell in love with the first track? And then you get a little uncomfortable because you love the second track as well? And then you start to get really uncomfortable because you fear that you might equally love the album? It's not a fear of loving the album or that artist; it's quite the opposite. You fear that you'll start to love other songs and other album a little bit less. Not because they don't stack up to whatever album you're listening to for the first time, but because you're afraid this new album/artist will soak up every ounce of you and leave nothing left for the rest of the music in your playlist.

That's how I feel listening to Autre Ne Veut's Anxiety album for the first time. It doesn't happen when I listen to a new Kanye album, or every three years when NYPC drops a new record, or whenever N.E.R.D. releases new shit because I know (and expect) to fall in love with those pieces of art. It only happens when I get "Sharkeisha'd" and it hits me out of the blue.
