Clocking in at less than 35 minutes (and without a track surpassing four minutes in length), their debut album ‘Tourist History’ hooks the listener in and then gets the hell out of Dodge before it all gets too derivative and repetitious. Northern Irish trio Two Door Cinema Club are the latest in a long line of Indie-Pop acts, and while they do not exactly innovate, they know their strengths and predominantly stick to them. As such, if a band is not at the forefront of a particular movement, it is very difficult for an artist to significantly differentiate themselves from the pack.
Lately, one could add indie-pop to this list, especially if you geographically isolate the phenomenon to the United Kingdom. The eighties brought us synth-pop and hard-rock, it was grunge and nu-metal in the nineties, while the noughties are to blame for contemporary R&B clogging up the radio. Review Summary: Yet another British Indie-Pop band with a likeable, if overly familiar, debut.ĭue to the laws of supply and demand, a specific musical genre will burst through over-saturation every five years or so.
