What was it like growing up in Northern Ireland? He’s unique and the diversity in his sonics and instrumentation is incredible. How was it working togethe r with Jacknife Lee? Now we have to worry how we gonna play that live! This time we hadn’t really played any of the songs before, so we just recorded them and added things. We didn’t have much time to experiment back then, so it was a case of just recording things we’ve been already playing for years. Where in the first album it was a case of recording the parts we’ve been playing live. Overall there is a stronger thought presence in making the song as good as possible. We worked with grooves and bringing other rhythms in and different electronic elements. A lot of the songs if you strip everything away and play them on piano for instance, they become something different. We hadn’t really a massive appreciation for dance music before. The main difference is on the first record the danceability was kind of encapsulated in the music – on the second record the danceability is more encapsulated in the production and instrumentation. It’s obviously a progression on that and we have our own sort of different influences and being on Kitsune opened up a new world for us. I guess indie rock is just like rock music that is a bit more danceable and all that was sort of the time we formed the band. How do you feel about the term ‘indie rock’?
It’s a little bit of everything, which is nice. We have a lot of stuff that live is a bit more like rock and then in certain respect it’s quite dance and pop and indie. We felt we get to exactly the point we wanted to with them. Obviously at that time we where meeting other labels as well, but Kitsunè where mostly interested in our music. At first we just took part in their club nights, but on the compilation they released our single. I think a lot of people assume, that the Kitsuné guys listen to just one kind of music, whereas they love bands like The Strokes and guitar stuff in general. Turns out that, at least on their new album Beacon, they’re trading in their dancy easiness for more complex sounds.
So when I met them for an interview I was really curious what happened in the two years I hadn’t heard from them. I first listened to Two Door Cinema Clubin 2010 on a Kitsuné Maison compilation normally this type of stuff is not really my thing, but these kids always had a edge to their music that made it interesting to me.
