Plus new ravers gear up for album release

New Young Pony Club have teamed up with Amy Winehouse.

The new ravers are currently working on a remix of the singer’s ’Tears Dry On Their Own’.

Speaking to NME.COM, singer Tahita Bulmer said: “It was a really slow number and we were thinking, ‘What the fuck are we suppose to do with this?’ It seemed anathema to what we do. But we finally got our heads round it and we’re trying to do New Young Pony Club do Miami bass.

“Plus we’ve sped it up loads and tried to cut up the vocal so it sounds like she’s being rude. I hope she likes it.”

The band are also gearing up for the release of their debut album ’Fantastic Playground’, which comes out on June 18.

Bulmer declared: “We want it to be enormous! A lot of those songs we’ve had for four years, and they don’t seem to lose their magic - it was a special time for us when we were writing them.

“There’s something magical in the air around the band, and I think people will get that and keep returning to them. On the whole I think it’ll have real longevity.”

The band are set to play T In The Park’s Futures Stage on July 7.
