the 1975

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

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.

They sound so tight on this, seems like it would be hard to pull off live.

they have such great drums on every track

I walked home from a party last night and had this song on a loop for ~20 minutes

They were on our local station which does this thing "Theft of the Dial" where an artist sits in and gets to pick the songs for an hour http://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2015/12/18/theft-of-the-dial-the-1975

xpost My impression is he's very much heterosexual. He's obsessed with women.

is "ugh" the best 1975 song

Ugh has really grown on me but I think Change of Heart is my favourite from the new songs.

All the new songs are great, I'm sort of worried about the length but the new album seems like it's going to be so much better than the debut.

there's something of the accelerated hyper-precise 80's worship gone a little bit crazy about 'ugh' that was missing from the debut - encouraging

I feel like everything about the arrangement and production is perfect for an ode to cocaine.

ya, precisely otm

the bridge is just so great, the sense of flooding bloodstream relief from that wonderful rush of out-of-body soundz snapping back to "oh, the kick won't last for long... " fleeting clarity to "...but the song only last three minutes" immediate smartarse meta intertwining and then the scritti-est seductive angelic croon for "so won't u callllll it up for me" (ur inner reply follows on beat - it what matty?)

mostly the whole track is a fairground ride/tide matty bobs in and out of until they reach consonant duet with "i'm not giving it up!" exchanging with synth siren alarm stab for the finale

they're playing columbus, oh on 5/22 and madison wisconsin on 5/24 with nothing currently announced for 5/23

chicago is about halfway between the two cities and they have no chicago dates announced (admittedly so is indianapolis and there are no indy dates either)

there is a huge gap in their schedule in july that coincides with lollapalooza (which has a notorious radius clause)

I'm glad I wrote my TSJ blurb before reading this thread. Soon as I heard the synth stab at the end of "Ugh" I thought "Perfect Way."

when is the TSJ post for UGH! going up?

Tuesday.

excited!/apprehensive

^^ title of next single

excited!/apprehensive

it'll make the Brad go crazy!

btw "the sound" is premiering next thursday i think

oh hi Brad and gr8080: http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=19503

i wanted to give "UGH!" a [9] but couldn't find the right words :(

the score is better than I expected anyway. great blurbs too

shit music

def my fav single of theirs so far

oh BABY won't u come again

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03fh4fl

see, that one I couldn't even finish.

it's not about reciprocation it's just all about ME

i recommend getting to the solo

The Sound is kinda amazing.

sounds a little generic coming off "ugh!" but it really builds

also it sounds thin as a radio rip but i bet the studio version will be better

yeah it sounds like there's a lot of details that don't come through fully in this rip, but this is probably their best single yet. I love all the production on the new tracks so much, it's all much more detailed and polished than the debut.

managed to get a ticket to see them in two days, very excited
