NYPC – NYPC

With scathing female vocals and a doozy of a backing sound, NYPC have created an album that is pulsing with electro-noise of the catchiest kind.

From the first track, the brooding and deadpan tune that is Hard Knocks, through to the more sombre, keyboard-driven You Used to be a Man, a major chunk of this album follows the same composition formula.

A variance of electronic taps is all that separates all of these tracks, making them sound like something straight out of an old-school Nintendo 64 game.

It’s an album that only nudges towards this band’s potential. (CD)
