Shy Child is an electronic music group from NYC that flows in the same vein as Klaxons, Hot Chip, and Soulwax; All of which Shy Child have supported on tours.
Shy Child’s newest full length record (their third), ‘Wall of Noise’, released on Wall of Sound, is their most polished yet. My two favorite tracks off the record, I just discovered, have additional production credits going to Paul Epworth a.k.a. Phones. Phones is one of the best things to happen to electronic music, so I ain’t mad at that! The tracks are their first single, ‘Drop the Phone’ and ‘Astronaut’. The title of the single makes even more sense now!
MP3: Shy Child - Drop The Phone
Shy Child also features some of our favorite peoples, the Spank Rock crew, on the track, ‘Kick Drum’.

Visit Shy Child on MySpace to stream tracks and check out where they stop on their European tour happening right now! MySpace is the resource, but they also have a sparse official site. You can get their albums and EPs through Amazon; their new record is quality and recommended.

They also opened up Hot Chip while they were touring the Mid-West.
