Remaining in the spotlight for more than six years has historically been a challenge for indie-pop artists, but a few such as Passion Pit and Young the Giant have broken this trend.

With this album, it seems that the worst is over for Two Door Cinema Club. “This isn’t a contractual obligation, we’re doing it for pleasure.” It’s nice to have a somewhat healthy relationship again,” Trimble said. So far, the shows have been so much fun, and we’re enjoying each other’s company. After taking a long break, with certain members overcoming drug addictions, pursuing individual passions and creating identities outside of the band, they reunited to create an album that they felt pushed the boundaries. “We didn’t want to be around one another for a very long time.”įans were unsure of whether the band would return from an unofficial hiatus that began in 2012.

“It was physically and mentally draining, and we got that point in early to mid-2013 where we all agreed that it just wasn’t worth it,” Trimble said in an interview with the Guardian. The album’s lead single and first song, “Are We Ready? (Wreck)” features lyrics such as “Oh, we’ve made a mistake / We’ve lost our minds / We’ve lost our memory.” The band has openly talked about the problems they faced during and following their last tour, putting the band’s future in peril.
