Elephant Shell

Description

Ontario four piece Tokyo Police Club burst on to the scene as teenage sensations with 2007’s ‘A Lesson in Crime’ EP, an opening salvo that delighted discriminating young music fans around the world and saw them win plaudits from NME, Pitchfork and more. The EP was followed up in 2008 with Peter Katis on the desk for their debut album ‘Elephant Shell’ which spawned the hits ‘Your English is Good’ and ‘Tesselate’. ‘Elephant Shell’ is the sound of these four young friends coming of age and into their own. The album catapulted the band into the popular consciousness, landing the band on the stages of the world’s biggest festivals, a spot in MTV’s video rotation, appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman, and even a cameo on Desperate Housewives. Beyond that, ‘Elephant Shell’ has stood up as one of the defining albums of this particular era in indie rock. Hard to believe it’s 15 years hence. Elephant Shell is ripe for a reissue and this 2023 edition comes on tricolour-incolour-vinyl.
