Two Door Cinema Club shows off a dreamy swagger in this track that provides depth beyond the typical dance rock. While “Bad Decisions” has the disco guitar riff and beat, “Lavender” has even more guitar and vocal hooks. With more listens, the spaciness of “Lavender” began to emerge. It’s one of those songs that compels you to move, or preferably, dance. Yeah, it could pass for a song by the Bee Gees, especially with Trimble exercising his falsetto.

Initially, the song that grabs you is “Bad Decisions.” Synthesizers intertwine with a burst of guitars, whose sound harkens back to disco of the 1970’s. Band members Alex Trimble (vocals, rhythm guitar), Sam Halliday (lead guitar), and Kevin Baird (bass) work without the services of a devoted drummer, but that absence isn’t felt on Gameshow. It’s dance rock that doesn’t skimp on the beats but also has some heft to it. The Irish three-piece took their time to craft a confectionary gem with Gameshow. Fire Note Says: Try not to dance to the newest from Two Door Cinema Club.Īlbum Review: It’s taken Two Door Cinema Club four years to release their third full-length album.
