For Gamblers leader Michael McManus, a few too many brushes with mortality have him feeling like there's a great force threatening to pound him literally into dust. Pulverizer however isn't a dark album. Gamblers serve a rousing fusion of organic and electronic sounds. It's the ultimate afterparty album that hasn't entirely left the celebration behind. This contemplative record takes on weighty subjects-but spiked with irresistible hooks and a zest for life that bursts through the grooves. Sleep in, Headed for a Cliff, Pulverizer, Running from My Grave, Straightened Out, King of the Idiots, Agita, Lollygag, Too Proud to Be Happy, Ode to Christiania, Morning of the Supermoon, Irish Sports Pages
