Following one of the most well-received 16 minutes of music in recent history (2006’s A Lesson In Crime EP), Newmarket, Ontario’s Tokyo Police Club confirms the release of its debut album Elephant Shell, due out April 22 on Saddle Creek.
Elephant Shell lands roughly a year and half after A Lesson In Crime (with last year’s Smith EP and "Your English Is Good" digi-single bridging the gap), which has sold over 30,000 copies and garnered accolades from Entertainment Weekly ("We can hardly wait for the full length" A-), Rolling Stone ("If only all young guitar bands were smart enough to rock out this fast, banging out seven first-rate mod-punk party starters in barely more than sixteen minutes"), Interview, Blender, Nylon and The New York Times among others.
