Gameshow by Two Door Cinema Club
Gameshow is an album by Two Door Cinema Club, released in 2016. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bad Decisions”, on 7 lists with a best position of #38.
Gameshow, Two Door Cinema Club's third album, landed on Parlophone on 14 October 2016, cut in Los Angeles with Jacknife Lee, the producer who'd already steered Beacon. The Bangor, County Down trio had gone quiet for two years after the long road behind the Changing of the Seasons EP, and they announced the comeback in June 2016 with a cryptic YouTube teaser, snippets from a documentary about making the record.
Alex Trimble said he wasn't chasing the pop of the moment; Prince and Bowie, two pioneers who lived between weird pop and avant-garde mischief, were his lodestars. You can hear it in the glossy, funk-flecked strut: Trimble's vocals gliding over synths and beats, Sam Halliday's guitar flicking and stabbing, Kevin Baird's bass pumping underneath. "Are We Ready? (Wreck)" went first, as Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, with "Bad Decisions" and the title track close behind.
