Review

Rolling Stone (p.83) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he music is lean, clean and spacious: expertly constructed post-punk miniatures full of ringing guitar and keyboard counterpoint, melodic bass work, and drumming that tilts rock songs...gently toward the dance floor."
Uncut (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]tructural sophistication and melodic savvy now figure alongside intensity and drive....[A] sharp effort."
Q (Magazine) (p.148) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] chiming lead guitar, melodic prominent bass, and every song rattles along merrily before stopping abruptly, as though the three-minute mark was an impassable forcefield."
Blender (Magazine) (p.79) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Making good on the promise of two nervously explosive EPs, Tokyo Police Club indulge in plenty of echoey atmospherics but also add Foo Fighers-esque blasts of guitar, as if leaping into action and kicking over their chairs."
Paste (magazine) (p.67) - "Tokyo Police Club tempers its tight jangle with lyrics on just the right side of sappy..."
Clash (magazine) (p.110) - "Each track a potential single, these guys don't hang around, going straight for the jugular, blasting out soaring indie rock nuggets honed by endless touring."

Title Note

The full-length debut from Canadian indie rockers Tokyo Police Club makes good on the promise of their 2006 EP, A LESSON IN CRIME. But where the EP was full of youthful, pell-mell, punked-up energy, ELEPHANT SHELL shows the band honing their angular indie rock into a style that's as seductive as it is energetic.

The atmospheric "Juno" and the dreamy, meandering "The Harrowing Adventures of ?" show how Tokyo Police Club are maturing, but despite amazingly sharp songcraft and brain-bending shoegaze guitars, the music is still driven by propulsive rhythms and nervy, post-punk chops that recall the Strokes. "Centennial" and "Graves" are two tracks that show just how promising this outfit, and ELEPHANT SHELL, can be.
