“It’s really nice for us to see people take a song at face value and just like it because it’s a good song, regardless of whether a radio station has told them to like the song or a magazine has told them. “I think we’re actually surprised at how well people are receiving them, because people haven’t heard a note of these songs,” Baird says. Baird and his bandmates have already previewed a few songs during a string of summer dates, both stateside and abroad, and they’ve been heartened by the response. on October 25th to play the Hollywood Palladium as part of a monthlong tour that will kick off on September 28th at Central Park in support of Beacon. “The main thing we’ve always needed from a producer is a kind of objective viewpoint, because we’re so involved in the songs,” says Baird. Producer Lee helped shape the inviting sound of Beacon by giving the trio outside ears. At the end we were like, ‘We wish we could stay here and just keep doing this.'” We just loved it – going to Trader Joe’s – we felt so healthy.

We went out to bars and had our car parked valet, which we’ve never done before. On the weekends, we’d go shoot guns or something. We’d put our short shorts on and go for a run along the beach in Venice before we’d head up to the studio. That was just the place we were in in our heads at the time.” But once they got to L.A., Baird says, “I feel like we totally swallowed up this lifestyle there. “I think for Alex, lyrically, he was struggling quite a bit when we were all in Glasgow because it all came back gloomy. “We wrote the record in Glasgow in the winter when it was gray and raining all the time,” he explains. The shift in scenery ending up changing the new material a bit, according to Baird. The band wrote their new tunes in Glasgow before heading out to L.A. “We were so much more focused and so much more excited to be in there and doing it.” “We recorded our first album in London, and this time we just got to drive up PCH and drive by the sea, and it was lovely,” bassist Kevin Baird tells Rolling Stone. If Two Door Cinema Club’s second album, Beacon, due out on September 4th, feels warmer and more upbeat than fans might expect from the Irish band, it’s all because of Los Angeles, where they recorded the new LP with producer Jacknife Lee (R.E.M., Silversun Pickups).
