"Undercover Martyn" first turned up in 2008 on Four Words to Stand On, an early EP from Northern Irish indie rockers Two Door Cinema Club, and it's the kind of wiry, jittery indie rock that sounds like it was written to be played too fast. Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird share the writing credit.
The song got a second life in February 2010 as the band's third single, put out through the French label Kitsuné along with Co-operative Music.
