As they gear up for the highly-anticipated release of their sophomore EP, I Wish I Was You, But That's Just Me, indie-rockers The New Yorks have dropped the second cut from the forthcoming release, We Enjoy This Too Much, premiering right here on theMusic.com.au today.

Steeped in mid-2000s influences, the guitar-driven tune evokes thoughts of The Strokes and Catfish & The Bottlemen, while still showcasing the catchy sound the Adelaide outfit are known for. 

"We Enjoy This Too Much is a rant about an irrational adoration for constant debate and agitation between a couple," singer Vinnie Barbaro said.

"It's a bit of a complicated relationship… the idea of love-hate and what is actually healthy is one that is dwelled upon, with conversational lyrics intended to represent bickering about what to watch on Netflix.

"The temptation to push the quarrel in order to get one’s way is unanimously accepted to be a waste of time, instead they both take comfort in meaningless argument."

As I Wish I Was You, But That's Just Me is due out on 31 July, The New Yorks will play some headline shows in Manly, Adelaide and Melbourne next month.
