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

new jaamm?

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?

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.

like an extended interlude really, nice tho

Not bad. Might like it more if I didn't already associate that three-note phrase with NBC

the steel drums are a nice touch

one direction "change your ticket"

this song is so fucking good
and GOT to be produced by the 1975, right?

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?

ah yeah it sounds just like "girls" lol

this is great tho

this is.... as good as any 1975 song? is that blasphemous?

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.

"Stockholm Syndrome" might be them too, sounds a lot like "Heart Out".

i can't stop listening to this

The 1975 are absolutely not involved in it in any way, nor with any other track on the record. The song Healy wrote was not used.
