( Gibbard’s side-project The Postal Service crop up on the album’s synth driven penultimate track, ‘Eat That Up, It’s Good For You’).

There are even shades of Death Cab For Cutie here Trimble sounds like a dead ringer for Ben Gibbard on the album’s lead single, the propulsive ‘I Can Talk’. There is plenty to get excited about here if you are, say, a fan of Bloc Party’s earlier sound, or Franz Ferdinand - even as they are now, in fact: ‘Tourist History’ dabbles in electro-pop, just like certain songs on ‘Tonight’. While looking backwards istead of forwards as regards making music is no bad thing (some would argue that the British ‘guitar indie’ scene needs any kind of spark to get things going again, having seemingly run itself into the ground), TDCC ( Alex Trimble, Kevin Baird, Sam Halliday) wear their influences on their sleeve. It’s a shame then that the band’s motto seems to be ‘forward to the past’. Having released a string of great singles, not to mention gotten a place on BBC’s highly influential ‘Sound of 2010’ list, the stage is set for the group’s meteoric rise. It’s something that’s quite evident when listening to Northern Irish trio Two Door Cinema Club’s debut album.
