Tourist History (Remixed)

Rating 4/5
Two Door Cinema Club / Kitsune
Every band seems to be putting out a remixed offering of their successful original releases. It either spells trouble in their wallets or they’re taking back what’s rightfully theirs, especially with so many unofficial bootlegs running around. Tourist History (Remixed) tackles the latter. With exclusive and hard-to-find remixes by the likes of Jupiter, French Horn Rebellion, original tracks are given a gorgeous twist while staying true to the esoteric essence that makes Two Door Cinema Club a joy to listen to.
