Tahita & Andy formed the band in 2005. Mutual friends introduced vocalist Tahita Bulmer and producer Andy Spence, who shared a love of punk rock and dance music. The founding pair began writing together, originally only for Bulmer to perform. Spence later assumed a larger role when they decided to form a proper band, and the duo recruited Lou Hayter (keyboards), Igor Volk (bass) and Sarah Jones (drums). The band released two limited edition 7" singles ("The Get Go" and "Ice Cream") on indie label Tirk Recordings before being discovered by more established Australian label Modular Recordings, and signing a worldwide deal.
The band's name came from lead singer Bulmer's desire to be a part of a club or team at school. Her original idea for the band name was the more concise "Pony Club", which she describes as "quirky and kinky and fun". A pre-existing Irish band had already claimed the name, and the prefix "New Young" was added to reflect that the band are "a newer, younger and kinkier Pony Club"
In 2013 Tahita & Andy continued on without Lou & Sarah as NYPC.
Architect of Love
New Young Pony Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you it stalks the dream
Of endless summers
This, was broken from the start
The blueprint had no art
The architect of love
Does not remember us
The architect of love
Does not remember
We, remember to forget
The gift that was we met
Habitual responses
Override our wants
This, was broken from the start
The blueprint had no art
The architect of love
Does not remember us
The architect of love
The architect of love
Does not remember, remember us
This
Was broken from the start
Was broken from the start
Does not remember us
The architect of love
The architect of love
Does not remember, remember us
The architect of love
Remember us
The song "Architect of Love" by New Young Pony Club is a melancholic reflection on a failed romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that time has made a mark on both the singer and their former lover, as they recall the dream of endless summers they shared. However, the relationship was broken from the start, as the blueprint had no art. The metaphor of the architect of love suggests that there was a fatal flaw in the design of the relationship that could not be overcome. The line "The architect of love does not remember us" implies that the relationship was insignificant to the architect, or perhaps that the architect has forgotten it entirely.
The second verse continues the theme of forgetfulness and suggests that the singer and their former lover have tried to forget the gift that was their meeting, allowing habitual responses to override their true wants. Despite their efforts to move on, however, they are haunted by the memory of the architect of their failed love. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the sense of loss and reinforces the idea that the architect of love has moved on and left the singer and their former lover behind.
Overall, "Architect of Love" is a poignant and reflective song that explores the emotional pain of failed love. The metaphor of the architect of love is particularly effective in conveying the idea that some relationships are doomed from the start.
