Review

"Tourist History" by Two Door Cinema Club is a high-energy romp that'll have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time. Released in 2010, this debut album is a perfect snapshot of the indie rock scene at the turn of the decade. The Northern Irish trio crafted a collection of songs that blend guitar-driven melodies with electronic elements, creating a sound that's both fresh and familiar.

From the infectious hooks of "What You Know" to the frenetic pace of "Undercover Martyn," the album is packed with tracks that showcase the band's songwriting chops. The production, helmed by Eliot James and mixed at Motorbass studio in Paris, gives each instrument room to breathe while maintaining a cohesive sound throughout. It's no wonder "Tourist History" resonated with listeners, reaching number 24 on the UK Albums Chart and eventually going platinum. While some tracks might not hit as hard as others, the overall package is a testament to Two Door Cinema Club's ability to create music that's both catchy and meaningful, capturing the essence of youth and social connections in their upbeat tunes. - Owen
