TOKYO POLICE CLUB Champ (2010 UK 11-track vinyl LP - Recorded in spring on 2010 in LA, with Rob Schnapf [Beck, Elliott Smith] on production duty, Tokyo Police Club second studio album, 'Champ', manages to encompass the compelling tautness and energy of 2007's mini album 'A Lesson In Crime', with the sweet melodic introspection of their debut album 'Elephant Shell', ending up as their most fully realised work to date. With highlights including electronic pop of 'Bambi', the curiously titled opening duo 'Favourite Food' and 'Favourite Colour' and the urgently anthemic 'Wait Up [Boots Of Danger]')
