Champ LP

Tokyo Police Club's "Champ" pressed on baby blue vinyl is like wearing your favorite hoodie on a crisp fall day; simple yet brimming with character. The album delivers a punch with tight anthems, especially in tracks like the dizzying groove of "Bambi" and the urgent "Wait Up (Boots of Danger)." Dave Monk's lyrics weave through relatable and surreal imagery, lingering like the fizz of a soda you almost forgot you had. It's a record that begs to be spun again, as if the vinyl itself is in on the joke, playful and electric.
