A Lesson in Crime
Elephant Shell
Champ
Tokyo Police Club are one of the best new bands to come out in awhile. Listening to their first full length album, Elephant Shell, was like a breath of fresh air with it's up beat sound and their marriage of guitars and keyboards that create a sound all of their own while still being able to hear hints of their influences. Dave Monks vocals remind me of Ben Gibbard. Other than that I think they take a sound that might be common place in today's indie rock scene, but they tweak and add a new sensibility to it that's makes some truly wonderful albums. Their new album Champ is fantastic from beginning to end. With stand out tracks "Bambi", "Favourite Colour", and "Wait Up (Boots of Danger)" to name a few. The entire album is great and promises more greatness from this band just like Elephant Shell did when it first came out.
