Weekend Videos: Two Door Cinema Club – I Can Talk (live)

It was a slight suprise to me to see Two Door Cinema Club homed up with predominantly electronic label Kitsuné Music to release their debut ‘Tourist History‘. The benefit of such an arrangement must be that the Northern Irish band have access to some incredible talent when it comes to remixes.

So on top of releasing this live version for ‘I Can Talk‘ they’ve also unveiled remix work by the likes of Golden Bug, Crystal Fighters and French Horn Rebellion.

Nice work!
