GUNSHIP

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. 2015 release. Gunship is a British synthwave band formed in 2010 by Dan Haigh and Alex Westaway and later joined by drummer Alex Gingell. Gunship's music has been described as "influenced by the soundtracks of '80s film, television shows, video games and cartoons" and "a neon-soaked, late-night, sonic getaway drive, dripping with luscious analog synthesizers, cinematic vocals, and cyberpunk values, exploding from the front cover of a dusty plastic VHS case which has lain forgotten since 1984." The band's self-titled debut album received outstanding reviews from both electronic and rock press alike and was credited with sounding simultaneously like "they dropped straight out of the decade itself" and for its crisp modern production.
