Enter into the fast-paced blissfulness of Tokyo Police Club's new video for A Lesson in Crime EP track "Nature of the Experiment". Warning: this baby may induce seizures.

Featured in the colorful, George Vale-directed clip are an assortment of intriguing around-the-house junk, white noise, some seriously cool boots, and an astonishing waste of plastic wrap. Its bustling nature is telling of both Tokyo Police Club and, humorously, Tokyo (even though the band actually resides in Canada). A+, dudes.

As previously reported, the Canucks are gearing up to release the "Nature of the Experiment" seven inch-- with previously unreleased B-side "Box"-- via Memphis Industries. It arrives November 20 in the UK, but is available for pre-order now.

A Lesson in Crime will land overseas on MI February 12, following the single for "Cheer It On", which drops February 5. The former will feature a bonus number, "Cut Cut Paste", in the middle of the EP's tracklisting.

Tokyo Police Club have slightly updated their tour itinerary since we last reported, mostly on the CMJ front. They'll forge through the North American freeze through early December.
