The toronto, not tokyo, natives have been in the studio for 2009 and 2010 hard at work on their latest record “Champ.” Tokyo Police Club is known for their distinct synth lines, sharp guitar licks, and rolling vocals; however, their second album “Elephant Shell” lacked the organic feel that made “A Lesson in Crime” so appealing. On the band’s blog they claimed with “Champ” they achieved the same flow and cohesiveness as their debut album “A Lesson in Crime.” The first single from the album, “Breakneck Speed” hit the web this week free of charge on the band’s website. “Breakneck Speed” sounds like the xx’s “Intro” with a textbook Tokyo Police Club chorus. Enjoy “Breakneck Speed.”
