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
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 11:13 (nine years ago) link
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

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

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.

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.

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

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/

Wow it really is a 1975 song isn't it? I can hear Matt sing it in my head.

Dirty Hit denying 1975 involvement.
But I was right about Medicine, eh?

this is.... as good as any 1975 song? is that blasphemous?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 14 November 2014 15:36 (nine years ago) link
It's really good, not sure if I like it as much as Heart Out, Robbers or Chocolate, but it's on par with Girls and Settle Down. If 1975 are not involved with this, then at least there's some degree of catching up here. I like the way they're channeling Scritti so much via 1975 it doesn't really sound like Scritti and totally 1975.
After not having cared that much for Take me home or Midnight Memories I suppose I'm mildly pumped up for this one.
