Description
It may be titled False Alarm but let’s be clear, there’s absolutely no doubt that Two Door Cinema Club are back with a bonafide juggernaut in their most industrious album to date. Their fourth record, it’s a synth-heavy collection of songs indebted to 1980s pop-rock, and was produced with long-time collaborator Jacknife Lee, whose clientele includes U2, REM and The Killers.
Synthpop, electrofunk, nods to Bowie and Talking Heads, psychedelia, rap solos and riffs that could give Nile Rogers a run for his money – this is no ordinary 2DCC record. The three piece are as creative and alluring than ever before, now demonstrating wide-eyed vulnerability and reflective songwriting, and this record solidifies the band’s place at the top of their game.
This is a completely transformed band, but what remains is a strong aptitude to produce undeniably strong, radio-ready singles. False Alarm is a game-changing record for the future of indie-rock.
