Beacon for the most part keeps a solid style, although a few slower tracks/sequences are thrown in for the most part it keeps the same trend. I thought Tourist History played around with the styles and tempos a little too much. What I especially love about Beacon is that it seems more like Two Door Cinema Club had a solid idea of what they wanted to do with the album. Handshake is just as up tempo and catchy, but doesn’t take a rest like in Next Year which gives it a slightly different feel.

In terms of quality Next Year sets the bar very high for the rest of the album, with Trimble’s ever-stellar voice, and a generally very up-tempo, catchy sound (with a light break thrown in) this is one of the best songs on the album. Although I question the placing of Next Year as the first track on the album with lyrics such as “I’ll be home for next year” it almost feels as if they are saying goodbye until next time (or album). This is an exciting time for us and we can’t wait to share the songs with everyone.” Two Door Cinema Club – Beacon teaserħ.Beacon starts with what has become one of my favorite tracks on the album, Next Year.

He shared our goals and played a huge part in putting the pieces together in the right way. Working with Jacknife Lee was a joy and a pleasure. Trying to find that balance has been our goal for a long time and this record takes us one step closer to the band we’ve dreamt of becoming.
