Currently my favorite Northern Irish band, electropop / indie rock trio Two Door Cinema Club have announced they will be playing in North America for the first time this spring. Following European dates in late March supporting French indie rockers Phoenix, the trio will be joining Phoenix on nine dates of the French band’s North American tour starting in late April. Following this support slot, Two Door Cinema Club will embark on their first headlining tour of North America, starting on May 2 at West Hollywood’s Troubadour through to May 17 at Toronto’s Wrongbar.

Tourist History, the band’s debut album, is set to be released on March 1 in the UK by French label Kitsuné Maison (the same folks that signed English electropop acts Delphic and La Roux). “Undercover Martyn,” the band’s third single to be released ahead of Tourist History, will be released in the UK on February 22. But I fell in love with them upon hearing “I Can Talk,” a frenetically-paced pop tour de force. You can watch the equally frenetic promo video below.
