the 1975

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.

I suspect it will be something of an anomaly on the album. In a lot of ways it 's a gesture-song.

The world needs our album

agreed

i don't know about the world, but i do need it.

omg the snl performance

i died

I liked their performance but they were definite victims of SNL sound. Could barely even hear the singing at times

im mad they didn't play "ugh"

i didnt get to watch the whole show did they only do the one song?

they haven't been playing "ugh" live at all so i wasn't surprised. they played "the sound" and "love me"

they said they haven't rehearsed Ugh enough yet but I expect they'll start playing it once the album comes out

also "love me" and "the sound" are way bigger hits so i wasn't exactly surprised

Lead singer annoying on SNL, and whole thing sounded a little meh, but TV sound not reliable, and I'll check the alb because of this thread (thanks, I hope)

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
