Game Theory | Real Nighttime | Album

Released in 1985, Real Nighttime by Game Theory marks a pivotal transition for the California power-pop outfit. It is the band’s second full-length record and the first to feature production by Mitch Easter, whose work establishes a sonic bridge between the jangly college rock of the mid-1980s and precise, academic pop architecture. Stripping away excessive hype, the album stands as a highly technical, literate, and emotionally complex example of jangle pop.
