![]() ![]() ![]() Sam: "We were thrown into the Kitsuné electronic world when we signed with them and at the very beginning, we didn’t have a drummer so we were relying on electronics a little more – almost as a fourth band member for us at the start. I think people love all types of music and I hope they can like what we put together as a band."Īlex: "It goes in so many different places and people may be surprised by some of the directions we’ve taken but I would like to think that anyone who knows us would be able to find something in there that they could grab onto and hopefully that can lead them into the rest of the album." You were originally labelled as an indie band, but you're more electronic now, aren't you? Sam: "I wouldn’t have expected us to do this based on what we have done before but it’s fun. I’m a total nerd when it comes to electronics, synthesizers and stuff like that and our producer Jackknife Lee is exactly the same." What else do you think will shock people about Gameshow? People were really starting to use things like drum machines and programming and sequencing. We’re fascinated by that era sonically synthesizers started to become really usable and sound really good. We bet your fans aren't expecting to hear that!Īlex: "It’s like that early Madonna with Like A Virgin and her self-titled album. We hear Madonna has also inspired some of the new album. This time around we grew the balls to take some of those chances ourselves." Their invention and willingness to try anything, their experimentation, their total lack of fear but their total commitment to their art and their entertainment at the same time has fascinated me my whole life. How did they inspire you?Īlex: "It was the way they did things. I don’t look back on that period too fondly whereas this time we were fresh and had the right attitude." Alex, you've said before that Prince and David Bowie were big influences on this album. "The second record, personally and inter-personally, we weren’t in a great place. I mean, with the first album we were just kids and didn’t know what we were doing so handed everything over to Elliot James, the producer and let him take the reins. We turned up in the studio with a freshness and a new, better attitude and a lot more confidence." Did pushing the boat out help making this album more enjoyable?Īlex: "Definitely. We had taken quite a long break and that fed the record really – we had to recollect after living a whirlwind life really for the past five years. We were willing to take more chances and try things that were a little more different, more so than we ever had done before. What direction did you want to take for this album?Īlex: "There was a different feeling this time around. While the set-up was the same, the sound has definitely evolved. Like your last album Beacon, Gameshow was made in LA with producer Jackknife Lee. sat down with Alex and Sam from the band to learn more about the inspirations behind Gameshow, shocking people with their new music and fond memories of The Generation Game. After taking a break from the business - one brought on by frontman Alex Trimble being taken into hospital - the band picked up the pieces and have produced their most daring album yet which pushes more boundaries than ever before. The Northern Irish three-piece ended their last tour not speaking to one another, an "inescapable cycle" they "don't look back on fondly". Two Door Cinema Club's new album Gameshow was certainly a healing process for them.
