Released 12th March (Digital) / 19th March (Physical) Modular/Island RecordsNew Young Pony Club – three girls, two gents and a sparkling bag full of sass that will have boys going wild and girls wishing they were in a band – continue to lead the charge of ultra modern disco hipsters everywhere with their new single The Bomb.The limited release of single ‘Ice Cream’ in the latter half of 2006 coupled with a support slot on Lily Allen’s UK tour and an ever-present TV ad have helped the five piece saunter almost unnoticed into the consciousness of the country at large. During the same period they managed to cement their already sizeable fanbase, sign to one of the most forward thinking labels of the moment in Modular Records, and begin work on what is to be one of the musical cognoscenti’s most eagerly awaited albums of 2007.‘The Bomb’ adds to the band’s blueprint so elegantly sketched out in the aforementioned ‘Ice Cream’. Where that track displayed sharp corners and a glacial cool, The Bomb brings a warmer, richer air to proceedings. Ty’s lyrical web is once again the main attraction with a series of out-there couplets designed to bemuse, confuse and tantalise at will, while Andy’s production brings together the best bits of ESG, Tom Tom Club and LCD Soundsystem into entirely new shapes.The band go on tour in the new year as part of the NME tour 2007February:
