With 'False Alarm', Two Door Cinema Club have produced what may have otherwise been a very serious, even maudlin, record if left in less capable hands. “We've been very lucky we've never had an overarching record company or management or anything at us going 'come on guys, where's the hit? Go back to the studio!'.” “I think a lot of those burdens, we've always put them on ourselves and we're very lucky to have people around us who are very understanding,” Kevin says. The record itself is imbued with the sense of freedom from restraint, of a band less burdened by other people's expectations and relieved of the pressure that had been straining their relationship with one another. "So now we're in this really nice place where we're almost circling back to the start where we just make music and write for the fun of it.” “Then the third album was more to do with our internal struggles and how do we just be a band, work together and enjoy spending time together, and then managed to succeed in doing that once we put out 'Game Show'. Then the second album we were a bit more like 'oh, how do we replicate our success?'. “The first album we were just teenagers who wrote songs in a garage and it was just for fun. “It's kind of back to the stuff we had on the first album where we didn't really care, not that we didn't care – we didn't have outside pressure about what we should be doing. “It feels a bit like Two Door 'unchained',” bassist Kevin Baird says of the new album.
On their fourth studio album 'False Alarm', Two Door Cinema Club have rediscovered the carefree whimsy of their craft not felt since they released their debut album almost ten years ago.
