Danny Boyle’s decision to hand one of the songs at the Olympics opening ceremony (Caliban’s Dream) to Two Door Cinema Club’s frontman Alex Trimble suggests that the Northern Irish trio’s time has come. In truth, while their second album is polished, thanks no doubt to U2 producer Jacknife Lee, there is nothing to distinguish Two Door Cinema Club from several other excitable indie-disco bands. Their debut, Tourist History, was endearingly odd but, Sun aside, Beacon is prosaic and frenetic, its tireless synths and fidgety guitars unable to camouflage the group’s dearth of ideas.
