Two Door Cinema Club - Sleep Alone

Indie rock collective Two Door Cinema Club unveils the official visual for their latest single “Sleep Alone.” The track itself was inspired by lead singer Alex Trimble’s troubled, drug-induced dreams, as he smoked cannabis to help him sleep when he returned from tour, which led him having not so comfortable dreams.

“I have a terrible time sleeping when I get off tour,” he said. “It’s horrible. So I was smoking a little bit every night before I went to bed and it was really influencing what happened when I was asleep.

I ended up having these really crazy dreams. I started reading about dreams and got really interested in lucid dreaming when you have full control over your dreams – you realise you’re dreaming, but within your dream it also feels like the real world. There’s a little of that in the song, but I never achieved it.”

Accordingly, the visual companion is one trippy ride which finds the band playing as part of a dream sequence and follows Trimble falling from a skyscraper on his bed and being chased by a train on the gliding piece of furniture. Off of their upcoming album Beacon, which is due September 3.
