the 1975

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.

It's like a more awkward sounding version of that OneDirection song.

lol turrican

i was hoping for an album of "me"s but maybe lp3 will be their hats

xpost to Turrican They're fantastically pretentious, but that's what makes them so terrific. They could be grimly competent hitmakers, because they've got the melodic skills for it. But instead they're this bizarre art-rock-for-teenage-girls thing. Healey is by a mile my favourite interviewee (rivalled possibly by Billy Gibbons), because the stuff just spills out of him – the strangest, most personal stuff (the other week, I spoke to him for two and a half hours, while he got absolutely baked, and I felt I had to remind him that he couldn't retract anything he'd said if he felt he'd let his mouth run away with him) – and that's all in the songs, too. I can completely get not liking them, but not liking them because of their gauche desire to be intellectual seems the least of the reasons.

matt healey easily also my best interview ever

hahahaha that album title. already record of the year without even hearing the songs.

Haha it really does sound like "Steam"!

not really what I'd hoped they'd do (was also hoping for their Hats) but this sound does seem to work for them - his voice is a better fit for it

the album title's so ridiculous but I probably wouldn't have expected anything less from them

ugh this song is so good

I would expect that Matt Healey knows what he's doing in interviews. Given who his parents are, I would be completely surprised if he hadn't had some sort of advice or media training. I'm sure Matt Healey knows exactly what he's doing.

no i mean he's just really smart and has a lot of interesting things to say
