Having won plaudits for their high octane performances at major festivals in Europe such as CullyJazz, WavesVienna and Jazzfestival  Saalfelden  NPB  have  been building  a  substantial  fanbase  for  the past few years. Their development was consolidated by the release of their 2011 album Lunchbreak and 2014\\u2019s Greatest Hits Vol.2.  They now return with a new set of music, Namby Pamby Boy, that maintains their strong  direction while going beyond into uncharted territory.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eRucker, Nykrin and Lettner have collaborated with an impressive array of artists  including  Charlie  Hunter,  Bobby Previte, Christian Muthspiel, Julien LePlay and Paul Gulda. Highly skilled improvisers, they have worked extensively in hip-hop and rock, and it is this embrace of popular music that brings a fizzling energy and an emotional  immediacy  to  Namby  Pamby Boy\\u2019s songs. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOn  the  one  hand  the  group  excels  at producing the kind of deeply moody, downbeat  riffs  on  which  electro-pop has thrived for decades, and whether it is the shadowy, dim-lit dirge of Status Offline  or  the  introspective  balladry  of Kaisermelange, with its glistening, guitar-like arpeggios, NPB makes music that is as intriguing as it is catchy.  On the other hand the group is entirely convincing on more uptempo numbers that reflect their love of dance music. The heavy, chunky backbeats  of  Cronuts,  where  Nykrin\\u2019s bass  keyboard  locks  in  with  Lettner\\u2019s kick drum to create a solid bed on which Rucker\\u2019s saxophone can heartily bounce, is infectious. Hero has the boisterous, punchy thrash that makes it easy to see why NPB would appeal as much to the punters of a small, sweaty indie rock club as it would to a seated audience at a jazz venue. In fact, NPB stand very much in the lineage of groups who are part of the world of improvisation but also fully recognize the value of a well constructed tune.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eStraddling jazz, rock, pop and electronica, the music of Rucker, Nykrin and Lettner is as thought provoking as it is attention grabbing. Namby Pamby Boy is anything but a soft touch.\u003cp\u003eMe And What Army\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Convictions Aside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStatus_Offline\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSingle Nambies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCronuts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaisermelange\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Wayne\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemembrance And Surrender\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStadtpark\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55162739687809,"sku":"672297","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51iQFG20SUL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767991731","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/672297","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
