Two Door Cinema Club released a new song, called “Changing of the Seasons” and holy crap I forgot how great they were. Â The trio hailing from the UK identifying as “alteronica” have impressed me since I first downloaded their free iTunes single forever ago; they’ve only gotten better since then.
“Changing of the Seasons” is beautiful. Â The intricacy of the different beats and sounds used has always been their forte, but this tune brings it above and beyond anything they’ve done before. Â Well, that and the lyrics. Â “When you say you won’t forget me, well I can tell you that’s untrue, ‘cos every day since you left me, I’ve thought less and less of you. Â And I’ve warn out all the reasons to keep on knocking at your door; could be the changing of the seasons, but I don’t love you anymore.” Â Haaaaarsh. Â However, totally a perfect breakup jam.
Alex Trimble’s voice sounds the best it’s ever been, his range at an all time high. Â It takes a certain kind of voice to be able to sing alongside electronic music and have it not sound lame or campy, but he does it with seeming ease. Â All of the complicated elements of this song make it catchy and fun, but also an interesting listen if you’re into breaking down different pieces of songs, because this has a lot to offer. Â However, it could definitely be a hit on the radio and played the parties because TDCC has that style about them; classic club beats but with so much more to offer for real fans. Â They’ve the perfect balance, making them the best band out there that uses electronic music along with real instruments.
I can’t wait to see what they do next.
