the 1975

Not like the good old days of the Gallagher brothers, eh.

More like those lesser bands from the '80s that were all haircut and no substance.

The Britpop version of Matt Healy was Crispian Mills, fwiw.

healy is hott
taylor is otm

:D

Amazing tumblr about the 1975 & 1D: http://hereforthehair.tumblr.com/

Turrican you're being sub-dog-latinesque

i love haircut and hate substance

probably late but just discovered this great artful rmx of 'pressure'.

holy fuck

but it's not even meant to be coming out until "feb-apr 2016"!?!?!

idk

i could deal with a 2016 release if we get three or four eps this year

here's the video where matty talks about a 2016 release. also discusses how hats is one of the best albums ever and there's a d'angelo sample on one of the tracks(!)

UGH

<3 jessie ware for being the first person to tell them about the blue nile

my heart can't take this

ugh i just got to the hats part uuuugh

"i love your band, you must have heard the blue nile bc all of your melodic ideas sound influenced by the blue nile" - jessie ware/me

i like how matty's all what the fuck even was my existence before the blue nile arrived into my life. which is how we all feel.

fuckin SAME

the top comments underneath the youtube stream of hats right now are all versions of "matty brought me here i'm in love"

doing god's work

i got a little caught up in the whole lewis l'amour thing but then kinda realized you know if this guy could write songs and sing he would be the blue nile so why don't i pull out hats instead?

are those records worth it?

the lewis ones?
yeah kinda, interesting vibe i guess, and the story is cool

the blue nile records are the apex of some kinda 80s mournful staring out a lux apartment ennui

also recommended: escalator in an empty airport

driving Tom Cruise's parents Porsche in Risky Business around the empty freeways around downtown LA at 4am

crying with sandwiches tied to your feet in the absence of shoes

I've never actually listened to Blue Nile before, checking out 'Hats' - dumb name for an album - but this is pretty great. The Lewis stuff didn't grab me, but Gigi Masin reissue, which I loved, was mining a similar vibe (much more ambient obv.)?

'pretty great'

'never heard the apex of some kinda 80s mournful staring out a lux apartment ennui—just streamed on spotify though, decent!'

whoa thanks for the Gigi Masin reference, Wind is terrific!

lol deej u couldve pulled that trigger on a thousand godless vermin over the past week, why poor decent miko

"Hats- dumb name for an album " is killing me in fairness

tbh i think i confused miko with moka subconsciously

i like how matty's all what the fuck even was my existence before the blue nile arrived into my life. which is how we all feel.

Some things about that interview:

1. My bf thought the interviewer was cute and did a good job (not sure how much the latter pronouncement was influenced by the former). This reminded me that the only people older than us at the last concert was a bear couple in their late forties holding hands and swaying.

2. I think Matt did a fairly good job of explaining their liminal / gateway status between boyband and serious project (which turrican was trying to lampoon upthread). I was worried that his definition of pop was going to veer rockist but I think he was thinking more broadly than his specific explanation necessarily comes across.

3. Would be fascinated to learn whether he wrote "fallingforyou" before hearing The Blue Nile for the first time or immediately afterwards.

tried watching some of that interview but tbrr i dont think i've ever made to the end of any sentence of his

on the plus side tho it did eventually lead me to find this EXCLUSIVE photo of matt and tay togeths omg

haha yes

'never heard the apex of some kinda 80s mournful staring out a lux apartment ennui—just streamed on spotify though, decent!'

Damn, gotta work on my hyperbole round here!

Srsly though Miko just block out a week of your life to listen to Hats and A Walk Across The Rooftops on earphones while walking through the city, preferably stepping across rain puddles.

I have to admit, I had it on Chromecast running the YouTube stream while I was cleaning the kitchen. This is no way to live.

idk i listened to the lee gamble album like that during a 4am bout of insomnia, it seemed to me like the only plausible way to hear it (havent bothered again since) plus my hob was sparkling after

With Mercury and Brit nominations, Jessie Ware has had a stellar year. The singer is unveiling her latest song, written with the Blue Nile's Paul Buchanan, at the ASOS All-Nighter on 12 December 2013.

was this unreleased or..?

this song is an enjoyable bit of 1975 lite that's tiding me over in the drought

xpost: could it be "True Believers", which is the only unreleased song in the ASOS set online? It sounds like a Paul Buchanan song, too: http://youtu.be/skJp1zAvBFM?t=6m54s
