the 1975

My interview with him … http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/nov/15/the-1975-matt-healy-no-ones-asking-you-to-inspire-revolution-interview

great writeup!

Healy should have posters made emblazoned with "LOL @ MID-20's"

lol i love matty. i think he's fiercely if imprecisely intelligent, guy has way too many ideas spilling from his head. but he is also very much 25 (iirc?). great interview

i couldn't be more thrilled to discover one of the new songs is called "ugh"

lol honestly that piece makes him sound like an utter moron

ithappens i was looking at your other interview with him (linked in the new one) and i'm really curious whether the slip here is his, can you confirm:

Until late last year he was still living at home. Then, as he puts it, "my band took off, my family fell apart. My parents got divorced. It's kinda good – no good marriage ever ended in divorce. If two people had a really good thing going on and they had to get divorced, that would be really sad. But that's never happened once. That's fine. That was a long time coming. December of last year I went on tour and they sold that house. I went home for two days to move out of my house, and I wrote and recorded Is There Somebody Who Can Watch Me?, the last song on the album, about that moment.

ugh!

xpost … Sorry, just noticed that. It would have been taken from the transcription. But I'd have to listen to the tape to check whether I transcribed correctly. So I can't answer your question …

oh man see them live on this tour

the stage setup is nuts

whens this album coming

26 February

Got a full stream of the record this week (I'd previously heard 90% of it, but in two different chunks, weeks apart). The highpoints are pretty fucking great.

Been listening to those shitty versions of "Somebody Else" pretty much incessantly the last few days.

get someone you love! get someone you need! fuck that get money!

YOU GUYS

UGH!

jam

such a jam jesus christ

i wasn't that high on "love me" but damn this is a fuckin banger

"when i said i liked it better without my money i lied" lol

:D

this is dope (i prefer 'love me' tho)

Wow, the song is titled like they anticipated my reaction to it, so I suppose it has that going for it.

You've got to let it go, Turrican. It's time.

you're not giving it up again

"hey boy, stop pacing around the room using other people's faces as a mirror for you"
matty. for christ's sake, i can't even.

unable to listen to anything but this

oh my days

This song is one extended fabulous scritti shake

the songwriting doesn't really grab me on this one but I love the production

oh man 'ugh' is brilliant

cannot even deal

Great track, love the static and lights in the video, but part of me is all like: stop flaying around and put a shirt on!

Between these last two videos, I can't help but wonder if Matty is not totally heterosexual or if the vaguely 80s new wave pink and neon aesthetics are throwing me off.

she said "i've got a problem with your shoes and your tunes but i might move in"
and "i thought that you were straight, now i'm wonderin'"

lol he's a terrible dancer

Are these lyrics? Because I don't actually digest what Matty says half the time anyway.

yeah they're for "the sound" which i posted upthread

god the "perfect way" synth stab at the end of "ugh"

Once I heard "ugh" in high quality I was totally sold. Feel like they are getting ...if not better, more defined

more beautiful

this is so awesomely compressed and stop-start - both the music and the singing. I feel like everything about the arrangement and production is perfect for an ode to cocaine.

i'm gonna ruin this song for myself but it hasn't stopped being totally fascinating

Yep. I've listened 7 times today.
