the 1975

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

― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson)

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

still agog at the Walk The Moon tangent in this thread lol

xp yeah i ended up electing not to go to this tour as when the tickets went on sale there was no new music and i did see them in jan '15. really regret that now!

I'm not mad about The Sound. But, seriously, wait till you hear The Ballad of Me and Brain, If I Believe You, Paris … Be interesting to see what you all make of She Lays Down, which is a one-take acoustic guitar ballad, that sounds not unlike Big Star. When I first heard it, Matthew was planning to gussy it up, add an extra verse, rerecord it, but everyone in the room – manager, producer, publicist, me – was saying JUST LEAVE IT! DON'T TOUCH IT! It's beautiful. Sorry for being an in-the-know wanker, but I've known these songs now for months and been unable to talk about them to anyone …

matt healy has this great ability to sum up my life in three minutes songs. i can't deal with it.

and the solo is just <3

the studio version is on spotify ... the way that this is kinda like hyperspeed house kinda reminds me of like a dj mustard beat

i love the lyrics so much

i thought that you were straight, now i'm wonderin'

The guitar solo is so "Digital Love", I love it.

yeah it all feels pretty daft punk, which is not the vibe i got from the live videos. imo it also sounds like "call me maybe"

basically it was built for me to obsess over

The guitar solo kept reminding me of a cross between the one from Digital Love and the guitar solo from Andrew Gold's Lonely Boy.

really "the sound" is an 80s prom slow dance song in EDM festival form

idk to me it mostly sounds like passion pit with a recording budget

sounds ready-made for a dozen official remixes

SNL on feb. 6 with larry david :-p

early reports from ppl who have heard the promo suggest it is "moody" "mellow" and "atmospheric"

sounds great

agreed

c'mon, dont't tease me more, I'm so anxious... there's no band nowadays that replicate the best the person that I am and my tastes. ugh

that's excellent news

seeing them live confirmed that The Sound is definitely their best song so far

I'm so ready for the new album.

I heard "Love Me" on the radio the other day and it sounded good on the radio.
