Two Door Cinema Club have announced a month-long tour through North America in support of their forthcoming sophomore album Beacon. Featuring a stop at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, the set of live performances will start just a few weeks after the new record’s Sept. 4 release date. In an interview with Rolling Stone the talked about the difference between writing the record at home in Scotland and recording in L.A. with producer Jackknife Lee.

“We wrote the record in Glasgow in the winter when it was gray and raining all the time,” says bassist Kevin Baird says. “I think for Alex [Trimble], lyrically, he was struggling quite a bit when we were all in Glasgow because it all came back gloomy. That was just the place we were in in our heads at the time.” However, once they got to L.A., Baird says, “I feel like we totally swallowed up this lifestyle there. We’d put our short shorts on and go for a run along the beach in Venice before we’d head up to the studio. On the weekends, we’d go shoot guns or something. We went out to bars and had our car parked valet, which we’ve never done before. We just loved it – going to Trader Joe’s – we felt so healthy. At the end we were like, ‘We wish we could stay here and just keep doing this.’”
