Release Notes:

Before hitting play on The Optimist, there's a fear that it's going to
be a less timely rehearsal of New Young Pony Club's 2007 debut. And
while the fever of that LP came from its direct rip of the early 80s,
its aloof riot-starting propensities and conscious eclecticism became
listless by the third playback.

Thankfully, the band have returned with a triumphant LP which
ceremoniously leaves the posturing behind, delivering a freer sound
built on an exciting mix of crescendo, space and charm rather than
quips clothed in layers of smut. Frontwoman Tahita Bulmer's vocals
envelope the sound unafraid, cut loose from their quasi-spoken cage of
pretence.

It's astonishing to hear the difference between the NYPC of new and
old, yet so apparent even from The Optimist's first track, Lost a Girl.
It's a glistening pop song full of stops, starts, lurching hooks and
slightly dissonant vocals that defiantly possess anything but the
faux-nonchalance of the debut. ôIÆm making you smile, why am I doing
that?ö she sings, brutally picking apart a relationship dead in the
water, with more openness in the one line than at any time in Fantastic
Playroom.

The range on this album is colossal, even though its influences are
still more or less paraded; take the title-track's whirling,
steam-engine keyboard parts, transplanted straight from The Horrors'
reinvention of My Bloody Valentine, and the PJ Harvey-recalling sadness
on the album's ballad, Stone. But there's far more than mimicry on
offer here; colossal key-changes and an audible sense of excitement
become the album's revelation.

The Optimist suffers from a slight top-loading, but the expertly
self-produced twists and turns within its songs more than compensate.
sure-hit-single We Want To's exhilarating harmonies and
so-far-away-from-artful chorus are expertly structured, polarising with
the way Before the Light pitches a frustrated, drone-like lead vocal
against the sugar of Sarah Jones and Lou Hayter's backing.

The contrasts are ecstatic, setting in stone just how remarkable a
comeback New Young Pony Club have pulled off. The Optimist is a
super-smart pop album at the top of its game.
