Today’s feature band is Northern Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club, a “music-mad trio and their debut album – so fresh off the presses that they haven’t decided on an album title yet – fizzes with invention and sparkling tunes. It’s undeniably pop, and it draws on electronica/electro, rock and Afro-beats without ever recalling hopeful dilettantes, but the sum is greater than any ‘indie electro pop’ parts. The album also re-defines short, sharp and sweet – 10 songs, 32 minutes and no wastage whatsoever – as classic debut albums should be…”
