This isn’t exactly the newest album but it’s still something I look forward to listening to every time I open up my iTunes. They’re currently finishing up their newest album Elephant Shell which is rumored to be released around April under their new label Saddle Creek. Canada seems to produce a delicious breed of indie-pop which I have grown to love with each new band I learn about and Tokyo Police Club is no exception.
Since most bands don’t tend to sing about robots taking over the world, as heard in “Citizens of Tomorrow,” there aren’t a lot of similar sounds to them for comparison. They’re more of a modern version of The Unicorns without the overkill of the synthesizer. Tokyo Police Club takes on the role of a typical rock band but clashes it with some electronic harmonies to ’spicen’ it up. They deliver a perfect blend of the two, except to a higher degree and with a faster pace to give it that extra kick you’ve been yearning for.
Tokyo Police Club’s high energy performances are what pull you in, their rhythmic clapping is what hypnotizes you, and their music is what keeps you coming back. Somewhat similar to mythical sirens except with better intentions. These guys are just looking out for your ears’ best interests.
