I’ve always been a fan of Graham Wright’s stripped-down acoustic solo tunes. The Tokyo Police Club keyboardist is gearing up to release an album called Shirts vs Skins on June 28, and the lead single is more rocking that I’m used to hearing from him. Entitled “Soviet Race,” it’s based around a repetitive guitar figure and an explosive chorus that’s steeped in gritty guitars and Cold War imagery. I’m not sure that I like this as much as Wright’s folksy material, but it’s still an intriguing preview of the new disc.
