IT'S THE ONLY ONE I'VE GOT

Some pigeons are more equal than others by Julian Charriere and Julius Von Bismarck

It's been a while (four years) since their debut single, but The New Sins finally have a new single 'Don't Break My Heart' coming out tomorrow on Tigersushi Records.
The single's title might ring a bell, as the duo - consisting of New Young Pony Club's Lou Hayter and Nick Phillips - chose to cover the eponymous UB40 hit. The tricky part of doing a cover is when bands decide to make something quirky and original out of it cause when doing this without caution, they're likely to end up with some pretty cringeworthy material instead. Although this one definitely doesn't just try to copy the original, it is by all means a contemporary and refreshing take on it.
Pre-order the 7" here, with a reworked instrumental of the track titled 'Heartbreaks' on the flipside. The digital release can be found here. Furthermore, The New Sins' debut album has been completed (and hopefully coming out soon), but in the meantime keep an eye on 'Tomorrow's World', another project that Lou Hayter is doing with Air's Jean-Benoît Dunckel.

TOMORROW'S WORLD

Tomorrow's World - Drive

Uhm, hi again.
Here's a preview of 'Drive' which I guess is going to be the first single of Tomorrow's World, the new music project by Lou Hayter (The New Sins, New Young Pony Club) and Jean-Benoît Dunckel (Air).
I'll be back with more soon.

BEATS OF LOVE

After the numerous remixes, Villa is about to drop their first official release. I'm quite sure that's something more than a few people have been looking forward to. With vocals by The New Sins' lovely Lou Hayter and none other than Mickey Moonlight on backings, Villa's take on the Belgian classic 'Beats of Love' today sounds as fresh as Nacht und Nebel's original version must have sounded back in 1983. Hit material, so to speak.
Out on Abracada June 28th - keep an eye on this label, lots of exciting new releases coming from this one!

Listen to previews of the entire release here.

PS - Lou Hayter delivered vocals for Mickey Moonlight's latest EP 'Love Pattern' as well, check it out if you like this combination!

WE WANT T(W)O

Alternate versions are always interesting to hear. This one was remixed by NYPC's own Andy Spence as a reprise of 'We Want To', which is featured on New Young Pony Club's sophomore album 'The Optimist' (out now digitally too ). Slightly more danceable than the original, highly enjoyable.

EDIT: They just released the video for We Want To as well, funny stuff. Reminds me of the Russian 'Pulse - Sport And Music' series!
