"the city" and "sex" are so good

The City is a complete jam, had only heard that Sex one from the emo thread. I'm kinda catching some prime-time 3rd Eye Blind vibes on The City. Like if they would have continued to move their sound forward this is what it would/should sound like.

yeah the songs on the eps that aren't singles are these slow amniotic things. there's a new one coupled with this interview and it sounds rlll good http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/exclusive-song-premiere-and-interview-fallingforyou-the-1975

so the us version of the iv ep is just kind of a greatest hits, all the singles from their other eps. uk version has all the new songs which are pretty fantastic, you can hear it at soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/the1975/sets/the-1975-iv

(a) this works for - what - two of their songs at most; but (b) for those two songs works in the best possible way.

Hey this is really, really good. It's so crisp and spacious sounding. The singles remind me of My Vitriol's 'Finelines', albeit less noisy.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Sunday, 16 June 2013 15:16 (ten years ago) link
More than anything I hear the shoegaze (line of descent via Kitchens of Distinction, though, who were always outliers in their own realm). But yes, good stuff so far here; I admit the name put me off.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 16 June 2013 15:52 (ten years ago) link
Maybe due to age/different reference points but I'm tending to hear things like KoD (and before them, Echo, a hair) as well as chirpy early/mid nineties indie pop on Spinart that wasn't Elephant 6. Stuff like Poole and the like. Not JUSt that, obv., but it's a nice riff on the whole 'big music' trope that has something more sprightly to it than a lot of other bands working out there.

i have had a lot of promo emails re this crew - something that always makes me suspicious.clearly there is a degree of some major funding here.so far i am still on the fence re the music : generic indie + current world studio tricks.which is not a bad thing per se (memories of custom blue/south ... ) , just that i aint clicking with what i have heard so far.in a few weeks they are playing a festival that me and the gang are off to, so that may provide more insight as to whether they are worthy of my attention or not ..
― mark e, Sunday, 16 June 2013 16:49 (ten years ago) link
I'm going to continue ignoring any comparisons to 3EB so I may enjoy this band.

I still remember some comments around then going "Well think of them as a pop Pavement" and I'm all "...you really don't know me that well, do you."
"Pop Pavement"... I don't even know what that means

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 16 June 2013 17:06 (ten years ago) link
This music is so allusive of different reference points that are hard to reconcile together. Third Eye Blind, yes - the chorus on "Chocolate" being the other obvious orbital crossover point. Edward O says Robbie Williams for some tracks! Some of the more ambient stuff makes me think of A Mountain of One if they'd gone more pop and less pachouli. Ned says 80s "big music" generally but then also Kitchens of Distinction which I def. hear, and then makes me think of The House of Love a bit. But I also hear Placebo in their emoness and open searching for different ways to be big. And then of course (crossover) emo generally.
― Tim F, Sunday, 16 June 2013 18:34 (ten years ago) link
Also I don't think this is even out yet but it takes the nascent 80s pop influence to new levels, feels like something from a big Hollywood soundtrack:

It also occurs to me that this band could have played every night at The Bronze and handily catered to any and every mood required by the narrative.

The advantage of their heyday being a dim, murky horror of shitbaggery means I can listen to the 1975 without such trammeling, for which I am eternally grateful.

Iirc Matty Healy no longer has a corporate role at Dirty Hit, right?
More ominous to me is the band's apparent desire to tour themselves into the ground. They played here and Milwaukee in December 2022, then just a few weeks ago at Lollapalooza, then coming back to Milwaukee and Chicago area in October. That's a lot behind one album.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 21 August 2023 15:37 (eight months ago) link
they tour a ridiculous amount but if anything they've been relatively restrained this year with only ~110 shows (including the rest of this year's schedule) compared to the 204 shows they played in 2014 for example

xxp I thought the same thing. Friend who missed the first show asked if I wanted to go to this one. It's at Allstate, which I'd guess is, what...twice as big as Aragon? I was surprised.
― Indexed, Thursday, 24 August 2023 13:57 (eight months ago) link
They sold out the United Center in 2018 or whenever, and that's bigger than Allstate.

Way back when my daughter bought a couple of tickets to see the Milwaukee show tomorrow. She can't go, so gave the tickets to me. I don't feel like driving up there, and people are selling tickets for the single digits (maybe in part because they subsequently added a Chicago show), so I can't get rid of these tickets, either. Oh well.
