Bright, fun third album from Two Door Cinema Club, and what else would you expect from the Irish indie rock / dance-punk outfit? The band has a knack for creating music that you can listen to in headphones AND dance to, with Gameshow being no exception. Produced by Jacknife Lee (he also worked on 2012’s Beacon), Alex Trimble’s falsetto vocals charm away with guitar, synths, and steady drum / drum machine beats laying down the musical framework. Check out “Are We Ready? (Wreck),” “Bad Decisions,” “Gameshow,” and “Lavender.” This is the deluxe blue vinyl pressing of the album w/ a bonus 7” and download card.
