Although the album’s lead single, “Wonderful Life,” urges its listener to “take back your wonderful life” because it's “now or never,” the album’s second single, “Lucky,” articulates the thoughts of a forlorn speaker who is unable to keep up in a rapidly changing world. Instead, it illustrates how difficult it is to be positive by placing its cheerful, idealistic songs in between pessimistic, cynical and sarcastic tracks. “Keep on Smiling” is unique because it is not straightforwardly optimistic. Although the album encourages its listeners to follow their passions, it also acknowledges the obstacles that can hinder their pursuits, such as obligations and self-doubt. Throughout its 12 tracks, the album tells a loose story about an individual who has become disillusioned with their current position in life and desires to try something new.
Each song on the album flows well together both sonically and narratively. The album’s mix of synths, blazing guitars, funky baselines, vocal distortions, dance-rock and funk-pop with psychedelic undertones, makes for both easy and fun listening. The LP is an uplifting encouragement to pursue your passions even if it means forfeiting what’s safe and comfortable. The band formed in 2007 and is composed of three members: Alex Trimble (vocals, rhythm guitar, beats, synths), Sam Halliday (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Kevin Baird (bass, synths, backing vocals).Two Door Cinema Club, the Northern Irish alternative rock band featuring Alex Trimble (lead vocalist, rhythm guitar, beats, synths), Sam Halliday (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Kevin Baird (bass, synths, backing vocals) has returned from a three-year hiatus with their newest album “Keep on Smiling.” Two Door Cinema Club are a band from Northern Ireland.
