Tokyo Police Club - Champ [Indie-Exclusive White & Blue Wave Vinyl]

The band’s classic second album, newly reissued on baby blue vinyl and blue & white wave vinyl!

As its name suggests, Champ is a triumph – an album of taut catchy anthems that display a vigor and fizz and from the Toronto four piece. Stand out songs include the electronic pop of “Bambi,” the curiously titled duo “Favourite Foods” and “Favourite Colour” and the urgently anthemic “Wait Up (Boots of Danger).” Again Dave Monk’s lyrics are a real highlight with strikingly juxtaposed imagery – “the killer with the colored kite,” “the national child star in a coat and a scarf, alone in the laundromat.” Ultimately, though it’s the fizz bomb youthful energy of the songs that appeals most.
