actually this is simply about people asking you to stop and you insisting that you don't have to, which is technically true but insanely exasperating. so here we are.

Ironically (and I literally made this very point two hours ago) Matt is actually quite smart and perceptive in his analysis of his songwriting and the interview contains quite a few examples of that.
It's a shame that everyone in this thread other than turrican seems only to want to talk about drugs.

surely it must be possible to dislike a band (I dislike this band, a lot) without being branded a troll
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Thursday, 2 August 2018 23:01 (five years ago) link
like, if you want a The 1975 Thread For Stans Only (All Others Keep Out) then the title should probably be changed to reflect that

Many would call it a protest song, though Healy is dubious. “Hopefully it could be used on a montage for the times, but it’s not going to change the times,” he says. “It doesn't provide a solution.”
Hmm. This isn't particularly enlightening - I mean, it's pretty much a given that any kind of popular music is going to soundtrack the time in which it was released in some way or another, and Healy wouldn't be the first musician to have ever said anything like this.

so track titles and details so far:I Like America and America Likes MeI Always Wanna Die SometimesIt’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You) - "synth-pop anthem"Mine - the jazz/lounge/swing oneI Couldn’t Be More In Love - "soul power-ballad"Sincerity is ScaryBe My Mistake - "acoustic ballad"Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America
also fantastic to hear that they're planning Notes to be "intimate, nocturnal and cinematic" - their Hats?

enjoying this new single by their labelmate No Rome, co-produced by George and Matty. they've said he contributed in some way to A Brief Enquiry too

yeah it seems pretty easy to dislike this band without being a troll
i’m not even fucking defending matty ffs i’m just saying getting mad about a profile for bringing up his heroin addiction when he was actually addicted to heroin is fucking dumb

I don't know the comprehensive history of who is and who is not a troll, this is just my reaction based on how things appear in the last series of posts

Katherine: Dislikes this band / is not a troll
Turrican: Likes this band / is a troll

"I’m not very good in the moment. The past is like this vague, hazy, beautiful memory, and the future is this vague uncertainty, and there seems to be this clinical spotlight on the present, where I don’t get to experience those things that I romanticize either side of it."
i connect with this quote a lot... been talking to my therapist about how much trouble i have living in/enjoying the moment
― J0rdan S., Friday, 3 August 2018 04:15 (five years ago) link
insofar as there's some thread of nervous anxiety threading thru their music (maybe im projecting lol) i find this quote to be very enlightening about matty's mind

I'm not a fan of Hats, but if the band end up making an album like what Tim describes then it'd be superb.

I'm glad we're finally talking about music again rather than getting upset that someone who once hated your band now likes your band, or getting upset that someone likes certain parts of the discography but not others, or getting upset because someone likes the music but doesn't think highly of the person who made it.

Turrican should just never post about drugs. I actually enjoy his presence here personally otherwise
― eris (Ross), Friday, 3 August 2018 14:08 (five years ago) link
Reading his simplified opinions on drugs is way more boring than anything any band member says, and far more tedious. Before you try to dog me for drugs as well mate, I’m 5 weeks clean and going strong
― eris (Ross), Friday, 3 August 2018 14:21 (five years ago) link
I'd love to ask your man Healy what he made of his Dad's singing and dressing up in Tickle On The Tum. Must have been an influence on him of sorts. It was great back in the day seeing someone known for starring at prime-time as a hard guy on a building site (Auf Wiedersehen Pet, a bloody HUGE show at the time too) playing second fiddle to Ralph McTell and generally clowning around in a daytime kid's show.

I swear that I only called her one timeMaybe it was two times?I don’t think it was three timesIt can’t be more than four timesI think we need to rewindYou text that boy sometimes!Must be more than three times!I didn’t mean to too time you
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Healy can read the phonebook for all I care, both singles so far have been brilliant and I can't wait for this.

it does kinda sound like "cheerleader" tho lol
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 August 2018 19:01 (five years ago) link
but it's a pretty direct branch off some of the other stuff they've done... not incredibly dissimilar from i.e. "m.o.n.e.y."
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 15 August 2018 19:02 (five years ago) link
it feels a lot more monochromatic / less dynamic than something like "The Sound." I feel like it yearns for some more content to go with that groove, but that might just be me and my disinterest in this sorta jam
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Wednesday, 15 August 2018 19:07 (five years ago) link
yeah the comparisons aren't off but i feel like those two tracks both capitalize on space in a way this doesn't, "m.o.n.e.y." w the vocal syncopation, "the sound" w the prechorus swings out to snap back in at the chorus
