the 1975

The performance of 'the sound' is probably the best thing I've seen in my life.

I think Matt could tone down on the mugging just a bit. I mean I know half of his lyrics are having a dig at himself but I think eventually it starts to undercut the emotional force of the songs. He should save it for key jokes. "You're so conceited! I said I loved you! What does it matter if I lied to you?" would be funnier if he delivered it like it wasn't funny.

I was also disappointed at first that they didn't do "UGH!" but it's probably better that such a perfect song isn't sullied by SNL's awful sound

i sort of agree but he also reminds me of me at karaoke

he's doing a permanent super-drunk-young-mick-jagger & I'm totally ok with it

studio version of "somebody else" may or may not come out this week

(Healy has gotten very into Connecticut-formed post-rock collective the World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die recently: “They’ve got the best name ever.”)

lol of course

also: Where gauzy, instrumental dream-pop made up a couple of interludes on the debut, it encompasses entire bends of the 1975’s new record.

and on that note, "somebody else" is out monday

and this exists

yeah they kinda turned it into a d'angelo song, i like it a lot

why link to an audio rip? whyyyy? there is video of that, available internationally, with no ads. idgi!!

there was one but then it disappeared. at least here where i am. sorry. no pun intended.

lol the "sorry" cover

Haha these guys

whewww "the sound" can like reaaaaally transform u in the right moment, the right moment being v off your face in a gay club. greatest clubbing experience since i had a breakdown to "only girl in the world" in 2010 maybe

& i like it being down at track 13 on the album, i feel like this eruption is gonna feel really earned following these "moody" "atmospheric" slow burners like the six and a half minute title track that precedes it & it's gonna be akin to "faith" on armor on ok

apparently the album ends with three v depressing songs too so it'll be a very isolated "up" moment

whewww "the sound" can like reaaaaally transform u in the right moment, the right moment being v off your face in a gay club.

I don't hold out much hope of this happening in gay clubs in Melbourne ;_;

yeah can someone please take me to that moment

lq live rip of "she's american" gets me so blissed out & lightheaded, i am not sure i can cope with a studio version hitting my ears, what genius came up with the idea to just remake "settle down" with basically no amendments

Ha same. I can already tell that it will be a highlight for me. Does sound like a total rewrite of "Settle Down" but that song is probably top 5 songs of this decade for me so I'll take anything that prolongs the magic

the bridge + sax interlude in she's american really lift it above settle down imo

my heart just stopped

after listening to "somebody else" like this band is going to fucking kill me

oh my fucking god

where is it? where??? omg

ok, just found the link. i. can't.

get someone you love
get someone you need
FUCK THAT GET MONEY

I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else

this is just too much for me to handle right now.

I'M SO LIGHTHEADEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i just can't stop listening to it. fuck you matty. if you play this in july i think i will literally die in the middle of the crowd. i apologize for all this madness.

i can't give you my soul 'cause we're never alone

ugh when can i listen to the unedited version minus zane lowe

oh, tonight apparently

this is so good and it's just the radio edit!

this album seems like it's going to be such an enormous step above their debut and it's not like the debut was bad

Wow Matty is going low on that chorus - audio manipulation or his singing voice? Sounds like a different band almost, until the second verse, when it gets more first album-y. Great song!

the lowest matty's gone range-wise is the verses of "antichrist" which is even lower than on this song. it's def manipulated here though, especially on the bridge

https://open.spotify.com/track/39Su9qsYZKeHNnoBf9tom7

Oh yeah, forgot "Antichrist". That's another track where they sound like a different band to me, maybe Interpol *ducks*, before Matty takes it up an octave. I guess his usual singing range is the essence of the band, for me

His voice is pretty low for most of "Me" too.

help can't stop listening

think when i first saw a live video i said it was a gorgeous composite of their album approach and their ep approach i.e. a pop song but submerged and blurred until it's a sustained blush. their best song yet

the lyrics are also crushing for reasons i'd rather not get into

this song was so obviously good from the live recording, basically im just happy they didn't fuck up the mixing or something, like it's more or less how i imagined it would sound

there's a real danger in listening to the live version 1st & falling for it!

^^^ this happened with me and "the sound" but "somebody else" translated perfectly

if anything it sounds more absorbing

"“Somebody Else,” the album’s latest pre-release single, is their attempt at chillwave"

looking forward to the criticism this record will generate in a "michael jackson popcorn gif" sorta way
