However, there just seems to be something missing. TDCC really like their guitar pedals and they’re used to good effect in this one. ÂWake Upâ is a far more up-beat offering and gets your toe tapping. Mind you, this warrants more of a nodding of the head than an outright bounce up and down. Despite never having done a song that could be described as a âballadâ before, this works fairly well, and the beat which drove the dance-ability of the last album is still there. A little more along the lines of previous TDCC is âHandshakeâÂ, a song which is almost balladic in its nature. There is a brief return to general TDCC style but it is, as I say, more mature. This first song actually comes as a bit of a surprise, Tourist History was filled with ringing guitars and basslines, whereas Next Year is synthy and drum-lead. I heard a few songs when I saw them at Bestival last week but I thought better to pass judgement without having heard the whole album.īeacon begins with an electronic beat bringing us into âNext Yearâ and introduces a more mature, stripped back theme that continues throughout the album. Therefore I was interested to listen to their newly released second album, Beacon. Hindsight, eh? Since then I’ve seen them three times and their debut album, Tourist History is one of my all-time favourite albums. They hadn’t even had an album out at this point and because I hadn’t heard of them I didn’t go to see them. I first heard of Two Door Cinema Club back in 2009 when somebody I was at Glastonbury with suggested that I go to see them.
