It's barely been two weeks since Fantastic Playroom, the debut full-length from the cool kids of the New Young Pony Club, hit shelves in the UK, and it's already wrangled itself a Mercury Prize nomination. So when the record arrives on U.S. shores August 28 from Modular Records, who's to say what accolades it'll be met with? Pulitzer? Nobel? A SAG award? Or just a buncha dance fans lapping up the Pony Club's lightheaded funk? Hey, that last one will do.

The Club will be holding open meetings throughout the next few months in Western Europe and Australia.
