spent my free time today trying to make a coherent playlist out of the eps http://open.spotify.com/user/unbornwhiskey/playlist/43L5u0OojGMPdYjFCelofh
i also saw them at boston calling and they were really great idk

i remember when the sex ep came out and i kinda discounted the non-"sex" tracks as mostly strange, subdued, ambient things and now they're some of my favorite music of the past few years
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 21:11 (nine years ago) link
Agreed. Still think the album would be improved by having more of that vibe (they could probably afford to lose, IDK, "She Way Out" to make space for it).
I was pleased when Matt said that "fallingforyou" was his favourite of their songs.

hearing "she way out" live totally turned my feelings around about it
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 10 September 2014 03:04 (nine years ago) link
two phone everything
Oh yeah I really like the song (esp. "I've got a feeling that marijuana's rotting your brain" becoming "I've got a feeling that my friends are gonna kick in your brain") but coming after "Talk", "Heart Out", "Settle Down" and "Girls" it feels a bit like a superfluous and less distinct amalgam of all four.
Agreed that it worked very well live. When I saw the them the weakest song was "Settle Down", surprisingly.

fallingdownthisrabbitholeagain i discovered i somehow missed the totally credible disclosurey remix by the drummer on the 2nd sex ep! awesome
for real waiting with bated breath for what these guys do next (and i don't often feel that way even for fave artists)

haha yeah true, and i do still kinda feel this way. "m.o.n.e.y." is also a real monster live

I'm hopeful they don't just continue to refine the whole eighties soundtrack pop thing, it's been a good look but it's such a small fraction of what they can do.
Unless they transmute it into something like their cover of "So Good To Me".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 11:55 (nine years ago) link
omg I cued up 'Chocolate' this afternoon and oh hi obsession all over again. I'm sad that I went for a few months without listening to them every single day

after all this time, "Girls" is starting to get played on US pop radio
― some dude, Sunday, 14 September 2014 13:15 (nine years ago) link
yeah i'm surprised it ended being this instead of "chocolate" that managed to get some decent pop radio play but i ain't complaining, it's a nice enough tune
― dyl, Sunday, 14 September 2014 16:37 (nine years ago) link
well, "Chocolate" got to #25 on the Pop Songs chart, "Girls" is only at #32 right now but it's still rising. i kinda wonder if the success of 5 Seconds Of Summer in America is leading the industry to give The 1975 another push.
― some dude, Sunday, 14 September 2014 16:47 (nine years ago) link
1 of those nights where a 1975 song comes on shuffle and i then listen to everything they've ever released for hours on end when i should be going to bed. i swear none of these songs on any of the eps or the lp are anything less than flawless and crucial to my life

Promise this isn't a brag.
Healy texted me the other day to say that you can get large chunks of the 1975's sound by listening to Hats by the Blue Nile. So I did. And he's right. The 1975 album is the chart version of Hats.
― Unsettled defender (ithappens), Friday, 10 October 2014 09:31 (nine years ago) link
these guys were awesome live. they opened with "head.cars.bending" which i thought might not function live but it was massive. they played about half new songs, all of which sounded great, one of which kind of sounded like paramore's "ain't it fun" as performed by a slightly funkier blue nile, another ("settle down," i think) which gorgeously mined the same kind of gauzy fake u2 as "you"

But it makes me love them even more that the Blue Nile resemblance is entirely deliberate.
def cosign the gorging impulse, lost a few days to them again after brad's playlist

xpost Ha! Didn't notice that! I recommended him AR Kane in return, giving his love of gauzy melancholy.
― Unsettled defender (ithappens), Friday, 10 October 2014 10:29 (nine years ago) link
perhaps need to turn down the crossposting a notch now but the ar kaneness of the recent lil silva ep (https://play.spotify.com/album/5rkADFeXR3EZlifZ2wbnId) ('kimmy'!) was specifically what prompted the semi-joking upthread production recommendation
