Today Feels Like a Two Door Cinema Club Day



I was blue all morning until I decided to turn on Two Door Cinema Club. They shouldn't be new to anyone really, but if they are and you want to check them out:
Official --> sign up to their mailing list now and get exclusive tracks <3 / Myspace

I first heard of them on Mark Hoppus's Spin column Hopp on Pop, article here. Thanks Mark! 




About the band:

They're an indie trio from Ireland. Formed in 2007, they decided to forego their university careers in favor of being a band. They signed to French Label Kitsuné and released their first album in 2010. If you liked Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, you'll like TDCC's debut Tourist History.




Tracklisting:
1. Cigarettes In The Theatre
2. Come Back Home
3. Do You Want It All ?
4. This Is The Life
5. Something Good Can Work
6. I Can Talk
7. Undercover Martyn
8. What You Know
9. Eat That Up, It's Good For You
10. You're Not Stubborn

Consisting of just ten tracks, they've already released 5 singles from the album: "Something Good Can Work," "I Can Talk," "Undercover Martyn," "Come Back Home" & "What You Know." They could definitely release a couple more tracks as singles (it's that good). "Cigarettes In The Theatre," could easily be added to that list.

Don't trust me? Here are some professional reviews:
NME- rating: 7/10 stars
Q - was included on Q's top 50 albums of 2010

I'm jealous if you are able to head to any of those. Would love to see these guys live. I practically transcend when listening to them!

 

May they make your days too my lovelies.
