Darryl says: After loving their first mini album, "A Lesson In Crime", and being a bit disappointed with the full lengther "Elephant Shell" I wasn't sure what to expect with "Champ". But I'm pleased to report that Tokyo Police Club are back on track, "Champ" showcases a bright and fresh sound with melodies falling over themselves in urgent abandonment.

ABOUT THIS ITEM

The follow up to 2007’s mini album "A Lesson In Crime" and the 2008 full length debut "Elephant Shell", "Champ" was recorded in spring on 2010 in LA, with Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith) on production duty. "Champ" manages to encompass the compelling tautness and energy of "A Lesson In Crime" with the sweet melodic introspection of "Elephant Shell", ending up as Tokyo Police Club’s most fully realised work to date. Stand out songs include the electronic pop of "Bambi", the curiously titled opening duo "Favourite Food" and "Favourite Colour" and the urgently anthemic "Boots Of Danger (Wait Up)".
