Tokyo Police Club keyboardist Graham Wright released a solo EP last year, and he's just posted another new track on his blog.
Wright wrote the track after attending a friend's wedding recently, which he said hit him "right in the emotional part of my brain." He recorded it at home in his bedroom, and you can hear it at the link above.
"I thought it would be nice to write a very simple love song that could be used as a first dance at somebody's wedding, or something," he wrote.
It turns out Wright's been doing a lot of this type of recording lately — so much that he says he's been left really, really wanting to get his songs out there any way he can.
"I'm not sure when it happened, but I've turned into a pretty prolific songwriter," Wright wrote. "I do a lot of writing and recording in my bedroom, which is a lot of fun, and very rewarding. But its also an exercise in frustration, because I have a pile of finished songs just sitting around waiting to be released. I'm really proud of these songs, and it saddens me to think that it may be years before anyone hears them, by which point I'll have grown tired of them."
Tokyo Police Club have been working on the follow-up to last year's Elephant Shell in New York City.
