Two Door Cinema Club is already somewhat recognizable, yes. The band’s exuberant, made-for-American-Eagle-shop-playlists sound has been able to transcend the time in which it was initially released, and even after a nearly four-year hiatus (the group released a lesser-known EP entitled Changing of the Seasons in 2013 and achieved some success with the eponymous leading single, but never put out a full-length LP following 2012’s Beacon) the group has still succeeded in even the most minimal of recognition within indie and alternative circles.
Similar to indie rock juggernauts – and Two Door Cinema Club contemporaries – Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, and Passion Pit, Two Door Cinema Club has managed to find a retained relevancy thanks heavily to alt stations always keeping a song or two on regular rotation. That meaning, ultimately, is what has made Two Door Cinema Club maintain semblances of significance within the indie rock genre and alternative music scene. There is inherent meaning beyond simply just the shimmering instrumentals and Alex Trimble’s throaty vocals. The band has continuously created tunes that make one feel ultimately self-aware and mindful of life itself, in some form or another. Two Door Cinema Club is the type of band one would listen to while wistfully contemplating the possibilities of the future as they sit on a train inbound for the big city. Their effervescent instrumentals were often paired with cognizant lyricism, thus making Two Door Cinema Club both palatable and pertinent even for the most casual of listeners.
And for good reason, too: the group’s addicting, catchy, and meticulously crafted tunes felt organic and true in their sound and style, while maintaining an accessibility that allowed for them to reach more expansive and diverse audiences. But let’s backtrack a bit: Two Door Cinema Club is an indie rock powerhouse hailing from Northern Ireland who ruled much of their respective scene throughout the early 2010s.
