the 1975

Fiiiiiiine I'll go. Surprised they are coming here to az!

i'm so mad i missed them AGAIN because it sold out, this is like the third time this has happened >:(

They said they're coming back (again!) in January. Be ready this time!

Jan 15 at festival hall (ugh!) - I'm ready this time though! Presale starts on Monday.

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

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.

thx for the link

hearing "she way out" live totally turned my feelings around about it

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)

lil silva should produce the next album fyi

but coming after "Talk", "Heart Out", "Settle Down" and "Girls" it feels a bit like a superfluous and less distinct amalgam of all four.

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

lil silva should produce the next album fyi

Lol / True

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".

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

WE GET BACK TO MY HOUSE
YOUR HANDS
MY MOUTH

I like that Maura and brad Nelson are into this band

after all this time, "Girls" is starting to get played on US pop radio

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

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.

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

we take your mum's car to the edge of the town
and we drive
yeah we go round & round

it's a legit thing! this happens to me all the time!

when "you" seems to be winding down for the night and then

AND I SAY DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE

and then the last minute omfg like jesus

<3

we take your mum's car to the edge of the town
and we drive
yeah we go round & round

probably the most important lyric of the last twenty years

i'm not even fucking kidding

my life can be divided into the time before i heard the instrumental sections in "settle down" and the time after

"You" is so bitchy.

"And it's not my fault that I've f***ed everybody here </humblebrag>"

AND I SAY DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE DO YOU WANNA DANCE

otm

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.

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.

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

WHAT IS HAPPENING IM CRYING

!!!!!!@

!

so this is coming oct 30th

I bet they're just endorsing some pills.

Given the release date of October 30, could Medicine be the track that's going to be on this?
http://pitchfork.com/news/57149-chvrches-jon-hopkins-foals-sbtrkt-more-make-new-drive-soundtrack/

Yes.

Just heard Medicine: it's rather lovely. A bit like third album Velvets produced by Trevor Horn.

aaaaaaaaaaa

Lol at ithappens engaging in such wanton us-baiting.
