New album (
Champ) coming in the spring! Although they are not quite arresting you for being in love (EP REFERENCE!), Toronto's
Tokyo Police Club are arresting, especially due to crimes of being severely underrated.
Elephant Shell was a pure delight, but was left off most favorites lists. It wasn't exactly the mind-bending sci-fi future epic that their initial EP would suggest, but hey, these guys write fun songs! Their English is good! (Get it?)
We already heard "Breakneck Speed", a sharp indication that the jammy noises of
Elephant Shell will remain in tact on
Champ. "Wait Up (Boots Of Danger)" is secondary confirmation that TPC still got it. Get psyched with some tour dates. -
