Two Door Cinema Club - 'Something Good Can Work'

Two Door Cinema Club - 'Something Good Can Work'

A filmic band with a love of the chiming indie guitar, Two Door Cinema Club are a real treat.

The Northern Irish trio have been trailing up and down the UK with their own brand of punky pop and if 'Something Good Can Work' is anything to go by, they've only just begun bewitching music fans.

Starting off like so many rays of musical sunshine, the magic of 'Something Good Can Work' is really on show when vocalist/guitarist Alex's sweetly accented voice chimes in with a clarity and youthfulness which perfectly matches the clean guitar.

The positivity of the lyric is just right for these gloomy days - "Let's make this happen now/We've got to show the world that something good can work/And it can work for you" - and the light-hearted optimism really carries the listener along with a buoyancy and a giddiness which is all too rare in modern pop.

The uncomplicated melody strides by, and with about a minute to go, a vocal breakdown breeds a real party atmosphere, complete with the whoops of backroom boys and making it a real feelgood hit of the summer.

From the uptempo rhythm to the guileless lyric, 'Something Good Can Work' really stands out as a terrific, uncomplicated indie record.

If you like a lot of jangle in your indie, join this 'Club.

Words: Kirstie McCrum
