We told you way back when to lookout for Tokyo Police Club in 2008 on the basis of two unbelievably strong EPs full of two-minute powerhouse synthy-pop-punk gems. Then, just a little bit ago, we gave you a taste of the first single, "In A Cave," from their Saddle Creek full-length Elephant Shell, due out April 22. Well, in a seemingly increasing trend (see Stars, Gnarls Barkley, French Kicks, Raconteurs), they've decided to shoot out a digital release in an effort to minimize the damage done by premature leakage (a problem I know all too well). The album is sick. Full of fuzzy synths, driving bass, hand claps and group shouts, each track rocks as hard as the next. I highly recommend getting your hands on it. To give you a taste of what you'll be getting, here's a video for one of the standout tracks, "Your English Is Good." Seems kind of like an Urban Outfitters ad. Grap Elephant Shell over at your local digital retailer now, or head over to your favorite local record shop on April 22 for a hard copy.
