Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell

Indie-scenesters rejoice! The "full-length" debut of Canadian exports Tokyo Police Club has finally arrived. TPC first came onto the scene and into the cracked hearts of indie-kids across the globe with their short-yet-brilliant EP "A Lesson In Crime." The 7-song debut was filled with endlessly listenable 2-minute gems, with its short length leaving fans salivating for more. A couple of one-off singles later, TPC returned to the studio to cut their first LP, "Elephant Shell." While this album has a few more songs on it, don't expect it to be a Mars Volta record (songs still stick around the 2-to-3 minute length). But that's not to say it is not a stellar album. TPC must purposely make short songs as to not "wear out their welcome," and make them contageous enough for repeated listens. Their songs (and albums) are over so fast, it seems hard not to listen to them over again immediately (they can be pretty addictive). Their quirky lyrics and angular, post-new wave riffs have not worn out their welcome yet, and fans of "A Lesson In Crime" will find themselves hooked to "Elephant Shell."
