the 1975

I looked on Wiki, and at first I thought he had just produced the three singles so far, but then I noticed those were the only songs with production credits listed. Though curiously (or perhaps incompletely) Antonoff is *not* listed as a co-writer. There's that quote that was in the Pitchfork feature:

Healy also makes it clear that he’s always the one in full creative control—of production, songwriting, performances. “Everything the 1975 does, I write.” He laughs softly. “No one touches the lyrics.”

the full writing credits are out, just not production credits. he doesn't have any writing credits

the band or Matty not sure are on the new episode of the How Long Gone podcast

trying to confirm whether it's the band or just Matty but i'm still at the long-winded intro

i do not get the appeal of the hosts or this popular-among-certain-circles podcast whatsoever

like do you have to be irl friends with them to care about these two hosts or

it's Matty and George

How Long Gone achieving the previously unthinkable: making Matty Healy sound boring

great podcast

ahah HLG as divisive as The 1975.

I think the pod is great but it takes a few eps to get a feel for their personalities and suss out when they're being serious or doing a bit/trolling.

I think Jason is a legitimately great host and interviewer. been following since his Tall Tales podcast, the best episodes of which were always 1 on 1s with Chris Black. long time coming.

I just saw a random video of Justin from the Darkness having a more or less real time epiphany listening to "Part of the Band."

anza, oh it's not hard to figure out when they're serious or not, they're just not v good at either

fuck, the new song is gorgeous and simple

best of the new tracks

they choose specifically the days I need to cry all over.
this band...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YDyhUh2xrU

eh they've done this better before

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBUfpxBiLSo

oh the video is a live version, here's the studio

new one not really doing anything for me, but these minimalist ballads are always my least favorite of their songs

like a much better version of "mine"

matty posted a clip of a song for the drive like i do project he is supposedly putting out on IG story. 90s alt rock cosplay produced w/ one beabadoobee’s guys. it sounds amazing

here's the clips

random but you know a song I feel like they could like...interpolate or catch a vibe from, is Prince's "Since You Were Mine"

3rd eye b1975nd is back

Usually don't like their acoustic tracks as much, but "All I Need to Hear" was a gorgeous listen, the live version anyway

And yeah I know it's not really acoustic, I got lazy with the description haha

Is it just me or is this giving Beyoncé's sandcastles vibes?

Someone went an ranked every single song released to date and because I could possibly do this myself:

https://www.gigwise.com/features/3427219/every-the-1975-song-ranked-from-worst-to-best

ok that list is immediately terrible because "pressure" is the best track on the debut, wtf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZvF2YEkA_Q

god that is a chaotic list

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPDXrkCampc

"part of the band" live

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2jdDSR4M_Q

new arrangement of "tootimetootimetootime" where they're playing it all live with sax everywhere without the sampled loops of the studio version

just got my ticket to see them for the third time. matty indicated they're playing the new album in full on tour but i hope there's lots of stuff from notes on the setlist since they never got to tour that

covid wiping out the notes tour was personally disastrous

the tour i wanna see is that album in full w/ some other songs sprinkled in

i wouldn't really want them to do all of notes, it's too messy

would love all of i like it when you sleep though, especially since they didn't play here on the proper tour for it so i haven't seen many deeper cuts from it live

I don't know how "tootime" sounded on the tour for that album, but that new live version is dope

matty coming soon on chicken shop date!

oh "the 1975" is an actual song this time

that's going to be so confusing lol

definitely the best "the 1975" though

this is their most sophisti-pop album easily

pretty solid overall, maybe their second-best front-to-back even if it doesn't quite reach the same highs as some of their other albums. only "part of the band" really blew me away like they have at their best but "oh caroline" is really good too. "i'm in love with you" & "all i need to hear" were really boring single choices, i was worried the album would be dull but it's pretty good after all

reichian piano phases running throughout “the 1975” [heart eyes emoji]

i feel like the reference point was just "all my friends" but i'll take it

ohhhh myyy fuckkiiing godddd @ "looking for somebody (to love)"

i feel like the reference point was just "all my friends" but i'll take it

it's totally both

i like it a lot more than the last time they were inspired by "all my friends" (the direct melodic quote at the start of "sex" that's just annoying in how direct it is)

omigod "I'm In Love with You" sounds like Lou Reed's "Dirty Blvd."

i feel like i'm on drugs (uppers only) listening to this

wait is this out?

it's shall we say available

ahh
