The album tapers off and begins to fall into the pattern associated with any Two Door Cinema Club album. Though the songs are far from their 2011 hit debut single “What You Know,” the trio’s interpretation of dream-pop is a refreshing take and a testament to the indie-rock band’s range. The end of “So Many People” and “Think” mark a point in Two Door Cinema Club’s history where the band sounds most like themselves at their best. Though “Satisfaction Guaranteed” is a song worth skipping, “Talk” is definitely one of Two Door’s more creative songs throughout their four albums and proves their attempt at electronic-pop music in Gameshow was not a one and done deal.Īs the listener hops into the DeLorean throughout the album, the use of electronic music undergoes a subtle change from dance-pop to dream-pop. “Talk” and “Satisfaction Guaranteed” are staples in an album where Alex Trimble’s vocals and Kevin Baird’s synths mesh to create a sense of nostalgia. The beginning of the album takes the listener “Back to the Future,” literally, as it sounds like it’s playing in a retro-futuristic diner Marty McFly would walk into wearing self-lacing Nikes. Two Door’s LP symbolizes the second wave of indie-rock music - a genre that makes the old feel new with dreamlike synths and pacing lyrics. However, since Gameshow’s release in 2016, the band has found themselves reinventing their sound and crafting an accumulation of songs that feels like an earnest tribute to the indie-rock genre. The trio’s latest release marks their fourth album and the follow-up to Gameshow, a poor attempt at self rediscovery. The album exceeds the majority of the band’s discography, but fails to compare to debut album Tourist History.
Two Door Cinema Club’s latest LP, False Alarm, harnesses the power of electronic pop while drawing from the development of indie-rock over the past decade. The noughtie days are back with a digital upgrade, courtesy of Ireland’s favorite indie-rock band.
