Tokyo Police Club

"New Blues"

 
"It was exciting to hear ourselves in such a big space like that, the drums ring out, the guitars blend and swirl," frontman Dave Monks said in a statement. "I think it really affected the arrangements and songwriting. We started to favour simple rhythms, slower tempos (relatively speaking) and energy over details. It was really liberating. I think 'New Blues' really showed us we could thrive doing that."
 
"New Blues" marks the band's first offering since the second part of the two-part EP Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness arrived in 2016. Give it a listen below.
