This album was released in September this year, and is Two Door Cinema Club's second major album. The cover art for this CD was particularly interesting as it didn't involve any shots of the band members, or any faces, and instead focused on women's body parts. The photos have also been edited to have a slight glow about them, adding a dream like atmosphere to the art. This also relates to the songs on this particular album because a lot of them have been inspired by a short period the lead singer went through when writing this album of having really odd and surreal dreams. There is a track called sleep alone which is about this period, using lyrics such as 'He sleeps alone, he needs no army where he's headed cause he knows that they're just ghosts and they can't hurt him if he can't see them'. It's the main single off the album and is very upbeat, despite Alex singing about something quite traumatic. Therefore the cover art connects nicely with the songs on the album, as well as referencing to something personal for the band, particularly Alex Trimble (the lead singer).
