Following on from one of the most well received 16 minutes of music in recent history (2007's A Lesson In Crime EP), Newmarket, Ontario's Tokyo Police Club will be releasing their debut album Elephant Shell, due out 5 May on Memphis Industries.
Elephant Shell lands roughly a year and half after A Lesson In Crime and barely three years on from the band's 2005 formation. The EP would be lauded by Rolling Stone ("If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast"); The Guardian ("Short sharp bursts of nonchalant arrogance. Thrilling"); NME ("The most perfect, weirdly askew band the other side of the pond has produced since Pavement"). It would go on to sell over 50,000 copies - probably about 49,000 more than the band were expecting. Not bad for four kids who self taught during senior year at high school.
Tokyo Police Club set about tearing round the world in a beat up ford transit, touring the US four times in 07 playing variously with Cold War Kids and Bloc Party and selling out headline shows at El Rey and Bowery Ballroom and standing out as highlights of Lollapalooza Bummerfest.... In the UK they sold out their first headline tour in seconds, owned the John Peel stage at Glastonbury and the new bands tent at Reading/Leeds.
