the 1975

Also "Me" which is not remotely yelpy:

monotony: the jam city record is streaming here http://hypem.com/premiere/jam+city

iirc "a better james blake" was a comparison someone made while talking about "head.cars.bending" so i'd maybe listen to that one

i guess "chocolate" is a pretty accurate portrait of how the album generally sounds, but also not really, what with "talk," "menswear," "m.o.n.e.y."

think the comparisons in this thread are less confusing than representative of the breadth of music this band has recorded, and also the richness even within their relatively narrow john hughes-y stuff

wow Walk the Moon totally sound/look like the Hip™ for Basics version of The 1975

Oh ha, they're mentioned 4 posts into that thread.

Yeah that is spot on.

Lincecum’s new ’do: Tim Lincecum arrived at work with much shorter hair, courtesy of the barber who recently trimmed Hunter Pence’s curls. “I don’t get haircuts very often,” Lincecum said. “It’s my third one in two years.”

The pitcher said he was inspired by British musician Matthew Healy of the rock band The 1975.

This song sound to me very post-the 1975:

LMAO wow yeah hope they got co writing credit on that

this is good, they should make more songs like this

i like the other stuff too (don't stop and kiss me kiss me are my favs - i'm gonna see them live tonight) but this Is by far their best song. It would be awesome if they did more songs like this one (it's a bside from 'she Looks so perfect' single )but i doubt that will happen.
this was written by two of them with all time low's alex gaskarth.

Latest news on the album: they're off to LA early next month for four months to record it. Lots of stuff demoed, but at this stage the shape of the album is yet to be determined. Talk of combining big major chord progressions with despairing lyrics. Healy currently obsessed with trap and Young Thug in particular, though that doesn't seem likely to make itself felt in the record.

We didn't even get to say goodbye.

whoa what the hell

Good riddance.

lol

Honestly hope it frees the couple of members who worked on The Japanese House to do more things of that ilk.

Are they splitting up or just being really dramatic about a second album image and sound change?

think it's the latter

I will reluctantly give them a thumbs up if they come back named The 1976.

you shush

tweet has already been deleted but so has matt's twitter acct?

;_; i hope its not true

just japes right boyz birovva larff eh pleeez

i know they'd been together for about 10 years before the album but is the project mostly driven by healy or are the other members essential?

regardless my inclination is that this is just to drum up publicity for new material

iirc the main composers are healy and the drummer whose name i can never remember

:(

Second album's been demoed. Recording starts this week. This is all a big tease.

:D !!!

i thought maybe this was some cool revolutionary punk band but i listened to them and nope they're your standard industry dreck

yes but they're our dreck

i thought maybe this was some cool revolutionary punk band

Ew.

nos they're pink, which i guess Is a good sign. http://the1975.com/

sometimes i get so excited that the chorus of "so far it's alright" is an interpolation of a sample of laura nyro

i'm putting this here bc it is magical & gives me 'robbers' vibes & i wanna be buried in this song when it inevitably kills me

(see also the other matt wallace-produced trax on this v solid album, esp. 'dark side' which is a 'girls' clone)

IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN

You say that like it's a good thing.

oh man

whole pink/purple motif for this album is encouraging

the album is called i like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it

which

lol

17 trax

out in february

hahaha man they came back mackling so hard this is great

if that is truly the name of the album then my compunctions about vocally loathing them might somehow vanish

for a band described as 'impossibly now' on all the posters i'm quite amused to notice that their 'sex' ep ends with a bonus track after a long silence

I've heard eight tracks from it. Only one of them sounded like the first album; that was the least good. The rest were terrific, better than I'd dared hope for. One didn't have the first verse recorded yet, so young Matthew sang along to the backing track for me. Been waiting for Love Me to get played so I could say how fantastic it is: sounds like the band Duran Duran said they were going to be.

Rio is one of my favourite albums

I shall wait.

if that is truly the name of the album then my compunctions about vocally loathing them might somehow vanish

it's really the name of the album

Yes, it really is.

Rest of what I've heard doesn't sound like that.

My initial reference point upon hearing "Love Me" is Steam by Peter Gabriel.

Yes, that's certainly not unreasonable!

I like it when you sleep they don't make music, for you they are so beautiful dreadful yet so unaware of it.

Seriously though, that album title reaches new levels of awfulness, sounds like the kind of crapola one would find in a sulky teenagers diary, the kind of dreck that reaches for something poetic but ends actually ends up being unintentionally creepy and ugh.
