Album Review: The New Yorks - I Wish I Was You But That's Just Me

Adam Wilding

"... A band who isn't breaking any new ground but have a keen ear for a catchy lick."

More The New Yorks The New Yorks Profile

The second EP from the Adelaide four-piece builds on buzz generated from last year's EP, with a collection of songs borrowed from the post-indie new-wave revival of the late 2000s.

Bad Man and Wolf serve as frenetic straight-forward rock anthems; Truman hints at a band who isn't breaking any new ground but have a keen ear for a catchy lick, and the final track We Enjoy This Too Much sees their no-nonsense approach and ambition keep things chugging along.
