a bunch of thoughts:
-still not entirely sold on "people" but it worked ok live-saw at least three rainbow flags people brought specifically to wave during "if i believe you" presumably for the lesbian kiss line, which, lol (i mean that in a good way)-"if i believe you" incidentally was a real highlight, they jammed on the outro for a while -they played an unreleased instrumental called "depth" which was very much in the vein of the iliyws title track except much shorter-"i always wanna die" needs to be their main set closer forever-there were technical problems for a few minutes before "sincerity is scary" but matty refused to banter with the crowd "on principle" because it wasn't the place in the set for him to do that -matty was a much better live vocalist than i remember him being when i saw them just before iliwys came out, some quite impressive moments like on "i couldn't be more in love"-kinda wish there were a few more deep cuts/a different EP cut to "you" which they played last time they were here (i know "undo" has been on setlists occasionally over the last few years, would have liked to see that) but the ones we got were fantastic anyway-matty struggled to remember which EP "you" was from lol-i have never seen a more enthusiastic crowd in my life-no rome was a very good opener, it's funny how he's working in a very similar space to the 1975 but much more both alt-r&b and emo, though not usually both at once-best band in the world!!!!

oh how'd i forget matty's floral skirt (no "paris" to go with it though)

Crowds for them are incredible, best I've ever seen, or very near the top.
I saw them once for this tour and once for the ILWYS. He seems so much more at ease in this tour.
That "Sex" finale, I hadn't seen any youtube recording of any sort previously, it blew my mind and left me so pumped. When it ended, the only thing I wanted to do was to go to another show of the 1975.

that's correct. they're premiering "frail state of mind"

accurate description of me whenever this band makes me wait for something

Whenever I put "People" on I feel this compulsion to enable the repeat single track setting and it's really destroying my last.fm stats.
― cpl593H, Monday, 21 October 2019 18:01 (four years ago) link
"frail state of mind" is supposed to be their attempt at 2-step according to a recent interview, looking forward to this

This feels like an updated version of I like it when you sleep etc's title track and with vocals so yes, perfect

why are none of you noting that this sounds just like TOOTIME with its chorus edited out? you hear that, right?
― alpine static, Thursday, 24 October 2019 18:23 (four years ago) link
it does, it just doesn't matter
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 24 October 2019 18:36 (four years ago) link
fair enough!
― alpine static, Thursday, 24 October 2019 18:45 (four years ago) link
100% agree
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 24 October 2019 20:02 (four years ago) link
that it's just TooTime with no chorus.
this is so gorgeous so i can forgive that there's not a whole lot to the actual song. i hope they eventually do something in the vein of this/"i like it when you sleep..."/"how to draw petrichor" that's an incredible pop song on top of the sound design
the album press release that's up on apple music now also says the sound of it comes full circle back to the EPs
― ufo, Thursday, 24 October 2019 20:39 (four years ago) link
this is fucking incredible
― k3vin k., Thursday, 24 October 2019 22:22 (four years ago) link
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, October 24, 2019 4:02 PM (two hours ago)
you say this like it's a bad thing...
anyway I'll take 22 tracks of "tootime" vocals over "how to draw/petrichor", thank you very much

Can't wait to listen to this on headphones

A bit more chill than TooTime but I hear the similarity. Love what's going on in the instrumental parts, good track

good interview with lots of details about the new record
lol at "It’s More That I’m Bored Than I Actually Want To Kill Myself (Or Something)" being a real song title though, they already did "I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)"

I didn’t come out as anything this a weird thing to say. I did an interview with a Queer publication and was asked about my sexuality. I’m not playing a game and trying to take up queer spaces I’m simply trying to be an ally and this headline makes me uncomfortable https://t.co/Uy3WIlZH7Y— 🥾🌍 (@Truman_Black) December 6, 2019

so I'm guessing that 02/21 release date was optimistic
