What's the point of the countdown clock now that the song is officially out

“Sex” meets “Paris” is OTM and also is officially a look.
Now i’m wondering if the album might end up in vaguely the same sonic territory as the latest Wye Oak (and lol @ me if they then end up being my top two albums of 2018).

and yeah ufo, I also hear "disorder" now that I think of it. my first thought for some was actually "45" by the gaslight anthem

2019 album is Notes On A Conditional Form which is just as pretentious but sounds way better

I also hear "disorder"
manchester band that fuse emo and post-punk tendencies

that song is rad, after the sprawl of the last one i would love a lean 'n' mean 1975 album
― alpine static, Thursday, 31 May 2018 23:53 (six years ago) link
wow, absolutely love the guitars

as soon as i read "notes on a conditional form" i was like "wow this really is my band"
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Thursday, 31 May 2018 23:57 (six years ago) link
i’m a full convert to this already... the second verse lyrics are so good & once i accepted that the most catchy part of the song is the guitars i really got into it
― J0rdan S., Friday, 1 June 2018 00:57 (six years ago) link
Yeah, pretty much rules.

The panel I moderated at Pop Con mentioned Healy's sartorial queerness (along with Young Thug and Harry Styles') but he's never coded queer to me.

In the video they look like they're playing a more lively version of the song, and I think I'd really like that version - this is alright but I want it to open up more. But I'm extremely excited for two albums

as nice as this is i am sort of disappointed they haven't come back with a huge pop single to conquer the world with
― ufo, Friday, 1 June 2018 02:56 (six years ago) link
and i do wish there was a bridge instead of just a third verse
― ufo, Friday, 1 June 2018 02:59 (six years ago) link
so i'm dumb and can't find the info: new album in October and then another in May? is that what they've announced?
October is forever away :(

a few album details in this interview - "a lot of post-punk" "all over the place", "jazz and lounge", might end up similar to I Like It When You Sleep in length - all sounds promising

Aww I like that interview. He seems to be asking himself the right questions

Don't know if this was posted upthread but it's produced by The 1975 and definitely shares similar vibes

i haven't been on this forum in 5 years cus i'm not v online of late but i had to come back for this thread cus i'm listening to give yourself a try every day and feelin so isolated in my 1975 love, i have just one friend who's also heavily into them and i don't see much of him right now
a couple years ago we took half a tab of acid each and listened to a moon shaped pool for the first time, then took another 1/2 and went to see the 1975 at champions square in new orleans. then biked thru the french quarter back to his place in the bywater and smoked a ton of weed with his neighbor roland on his stoop and then watched lemonade for the first time, i think that day opened many new doors in my appreciation of art in general
i can't think of a better band to see while tripping on acid, obviously their light show on that tour was eye-meltingly sophisticated and they sound impeccable and their self-consciously conceptual gimmickry is so perfect for a brain on lsd. (the way they fill the stage, and their iconography in general, with rectangles that have similar proportions to those of the thousands of iphones held aloft by the young women ages 14-21 that seemingly constituted the entire audience except for us, two guys in their late 20s..... the moment when they projected the infinite-regression video feed of the stage onto those rectangles on the stage on the rectangles on the stage etc etc and it opened a trap door in my mind)
i feel like a lot of what's great about them has been captured on this thread but one thing i haven't seen mentioned is their insanely detailed sense of timing and their total command of editing together the little sound effects and miniature samples and bits of punctuation that string their albums and especially their concerts together -- that glimpse of 'sledgehammer' at the start of 'she's american', the soda tab pop on 'girls,' the way they begin their albums and shows with a dang song called THE 1975 like, Welcome To The 1975 Show, and close the set out with the onstage projections collapsing into a little point of light like an analog tv shutting off. i am such a sucker for this kind of thing in music but movies and tv as well -- the clever and well-timed revelation of a title or soundtrack cue, atlanta is so good at this kind of thing
my favorite albums have always been the ones that sound obsessively crafted and create a trajectory or loose sense of narrative through sequencing and sonic detail rather than merely lyrical content -- like ladies & gentlemen we are floating in space, or braids' native speaker, or my beautiful dark twisted fantasy, or recently cornelius' mellow waves. but is anyone as good as the 1975 at this editing and transitions thing? does anyone have any idea what i'm talking abt?? i dunno but i'll just be over here replaying the first four bars of 'give yourself a try' to hear that beat at the end of the fourth bar where all the sound gets sucked into oblivion before the full band comes in

On the first and second listen I couldn't get on board with this, but this is a monumental single. Banger, I can't get enough.
