'Tourist History' is an album with familiar features; angular indie guitars and electro rhythms, much like a Bloc Party mixed with Foals. Two Door Cinema Club, another band from Northern Ireland, present a debut album here that goes beyond just another generic 'indie' album. Most songs on this 10-track album are instantly catchy and recall some of the better bands from the last decade; Vampire Weekend and Born Ruffians on 'Something Good Can Work' and The Futureheads and Editors on 'I Can Talk'.
It's with good reason that Two Door Cinema Club were singled out as one of the bands to watch in 2010 (they were included in BBC's Sound Of 2010). Along with Delphic, whom they share some electro similarities but are more guitar driven, they are defiantly one of the better new bands out there and this is a really strong debut album, with enough variety to pick up a strong following. Expect bigger tours and strong festival appearances this year.
Here is the bands next single, 'Undercover Martyn';
