Lt Dan Buckley with my DJ pick for this week from Tokyo Police Club. We’ve been listening to “Hang Your Heart” off their most recent release Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness for a few months, and I love it.
If you’ve ever read a comic book, watched a science fiction movie, played freeze tag, or undertaken a top-secret intergalactic space mission, then you know all about the value of a good force field. Tokyo Police Club surely do, and in the four years since the band’s last album, our brave heroes from Toronto spent several long winters and many manic nights in their own fortress of solitude, learning to deflect that which would do them harm or lead them astray and to respect and to trust those they knew best: each other.
Listen to their single “Hang Your Heart” below and let us know what you think!
