The boys are back in town

There's a lot of anticipation surrounding Two Door Cinema Club's new album. Its been only two years since our homegrown indie trio released their first album Tourist History, this time round their new album takes a subtle turn towards more soothing tracks. Beacon is one album that we can be guaranteed to go down well with fans. You can hear that TDCC are increasingly becoming more comfortable and at ease with making new music. The songs contain sweeter melodies than the first and as a whole it's less explosive. There's no distinct climax in the album but a kind of intimacy between each track. Comparing the two albums is rather inevitable yet it doesn't give Beacon the justice it deserves. The album itself may take some getting used to when Tourist History was such a hit, but I think these songs prove just as catchy after a bit. Though it's difficult to choose the best track out of all 11 tracks, my favorites are "Spring", "Next Year" and "Settle". One of the most known and catchy tracks on the album is "Sleep Alone", as it's already been played repeatedly on Irish radios. In my opinion, Beacon lives up to all its hype. It might not be as upbeat as Tourist history but it does maintains the high quality of unique sounds.

To sum it up in a couple of words- they've done it again. Good news for Irish fans, TDCC are playing two Irish dates; 20th September 2012 and most recently announced the 19th January 2013. Beacon becomes available for purchase on September 3rd. Catch a listen of TDCC's album here.
