Two Door Cinema Club’s follow-up to their all-killer debut came in 2012, in the form of the synthesizer-laden Beacon, which retained much of its predecessor’s jangly guitar excursions and dance-floor tendencies yet glossed in some corners with the sweet shininess of Synthpop and Dance-Punk.įour years after, Two Door Cinema Club are back with a different kind of beast and a more relaxed temperament albeit with aural remnants of its predecessors. Right from the start, the music of the band was already distinctly developed – best characterized by the sweet-sour guitar angularity that harked to similar styling employed by Post-Punk pioneers such as Gang of Four (“Return the Gift”), Orange Juice (“Falling and Laughing”), early Siouxsie & the Banshees (“Mirage”), and the more recent Franz Ferdinand (“Take Me Out”) and sharp and witty lyricism that may recall the wordplay and narrative antics of Jarvis Cocker of the Britpop purveyor Pulp (“Babies”) all these packaged in less-than-four-minutes sunny, upbeat, and quirky Indie Pop songs. Formed in 2007, in County Down, Northern Ireland, by Alex Trimble (vocals, rhythm guitar, beats, synths), Sam Halliday (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Kevin Baird (bass, synths, backing vocals), Two Door Cinema Club caught the Indie Pop world in awe with its solid first effort, 2010’s Tourist History.
