After delivering the first of their Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness EPs earlier this year, Tokyo Police Club have followed things up with an equally rad second instalment, which you can now listen to early.
The new effort arrives tomorrow (September 23) through Dine Alone Records, and features four additional tracks alongside the previously heard Rostam-produced single "My House."
"Coming down from [2014 album] Forcefield, a lot of things were changing for us as people. We knew we had music to make but didn't know where it was taking us," the band's Dave Monks said in a statement. "So, with each song, we explored new ways of working and just tried to capture the moment. These EP's let us frame them as honest snapshots rather than a grand statement. With A Lesson in Crime 10 years behind us, it feels like we've tapped back into that off the cuff spirit that brought us together in the first place."
