"Observatory" is the song that really made me think of Two Door Cinema Club. It has that same catchy hook and lyrical style. "I want to read your book but don't want to break the spine." Can't go wrong with pop lyrics like that.
"Local Swan" is another stand out track from Ancient Mars. The piano on this song for me really is the driving force. It reminds me of an older Keane song. I'm a fan of any band that has lyrics that pull you in and make you sing along on a second listen.
I remember in one of my many trips to Canada, I was reminded that they play over 60 percent local music. Meaning, there was a gluttony of Bryan Adams and Celine Dion on the air. Thankfully, Canada has a ton of great new talent and playing local music doesn't mean that kind of torture. Anyhow, "Knot In My Heart" is another favorite of mine from Ancient Mars. The entire album is worth picking up.
