Tokyo Police Club - Elephant Shell
Ever since I heard TPC’s amazing EP, A Lesson In Crime, I’ve been super-psyched about hearing a full-length album’s worth of that manic, sawtooth sound. Look’s like I’m going to have to wait a little longer.
What is it with these bands, man?! Just give me more of what you gave me the first time I heard you! It’s like, “Yep, that sound we created is awesome and distinctive and totally engaging, we did it. Now let’s ease off on that a little and try to develop our songwriting.” Fuck your songwriting. Give me the urgency. If I was a fan of bands abandoning what’s awesome about them in favor of boring pretentious bullshit songcraft, I’d still be listening to Pearl Jam.
