The album is named for the reputation of the band's hometown, Bangor , as a tourist attraction .Tourist History won the Choice Music Prize for the 2010 Irish Album of the Year . The band said it was the first award they had ever won and donated the €10,000 prize money to charity.Recording The band recorded the album at Eastcote Studios in London with Eliot James in July 2009, and was based in a studio adjacent to Duran Duran . The album was mixed at Phillipe Zdar's newly built studio, Motorbass. Two Door Cinema Club were the second band to use Zdar's studio, the first being Phoenix . During the mixing process, Zdar reportedly found it hard to understand the band's Irish accents over the first couple of days. Of working with Two Door Cinema Club, Zdar said to the NME , "Their stuff was already tight—I was just able to give big bass, big highs and something a bit large! They are completely crazy about music—there is not one hour when they don't listen or download something from a blog. They remind me of me when I was a teenager." The album was mastered by Mike Marsh at the Exchange in London.Critical reception Tourist History received generally positive reviews from music critics . At Metacritic , which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 67, based on 12 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". Lou Thomas of BBC Music described the album as showing "sporadic flashes of greatness", comparing the album to the works of Editors , Foals , and The Futureheads , whilst Laura Silverman of The Times described the album as "an excited burst of short, simple indie pop songs driven by jangly guitars and punk rhythms". Dom Gourlay of Drowned in Sound described the album as "mixing Bloc Party's guile and wisdom with a pop sensibility not normally associated with modern-day guitar oriented bands" and as a "more accessible and less po-faced Antidotes ".Commercial performance Tourist History debuted at number forty-six on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 5,071 copies, eventually peaking sixty-two weeks later at number twenty-four, in May 2011. The album was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry on 22 July 2013 , and has sold 340,542 copies in the United Kingdom as of November 2016 .Track listing Undercover Martyn is track 3 on the iTunes version of the album.Personnel Credits adapted from the liner notes of Tourist History . ;Two Door Cinema Club Alex Trimble – vocals, guitar, synthesiser, beats Sam Halliday – lead guitar, backing vocals Kevin Baird – bass guitar, backing vocals ;Additional personnel Tal Amiran – additional drumming Ben Dawson – trumpet Anthea Humphreys – backing vocals Eliot James – engineering, production ; mixing Mike Marsh – mastering Heather McCormick – backing vocals Philippe Zdar – mixingCharts Release history
