From the beginning, he’s claimed that his band speak to their generation with more concision and empathy than anybody else, not just in thematic terms but in relation to the actual sound of their albums. Matty Healy is a character, a proper one, and in his case, The 1975’s ubiquity these past few years is absolutely by design. There aren’t many real characters left but, whether or not they mean to be, they’re difficult to avoid when they do surface. Similarly, it’s little wonder that the likes of 6ix9ine and XXXTentacion - vivid in appearance and violent in expression - have been the hip hop names on everybody’s lips this year the man at the top of the genre lint-rolls his trousers in public. They didn’t just want the music - they wanted the self-styled indie rock clown prince who sticks out like a sore thumb among so many self-serious contemporaries.

When Mac DeMarco sold out two nights at Brixton Academy last year, it wasn’t because there’s ten thousand Londoners happy to part with thirty quid to hear some lo-fi love songs played back at them note-for-note, because by that calculation, Jonathan Richman would’ve made enough out of them to retire by now. There’s a reason why the Gallagher brothers seem to swallow what’s left of the music press whole for a month or so whenever either of them opens their mouth in a climate where publicists want everybody on their best behaviour, the pair of them still have something to say, and they don’t mind saying it, either. The very fact that the ones we have had loom so large across the landscape should give you some idea as to their scarcity. You won’t be disappointed (hopefully), I wasn’t!Īlso, I’ve just logged into Twitter to find that Matty goddamn Healy has (I think) released the new 1975 album release date (Notes on a Conditional Form - June 1st), so I’m gonna go cry with excitement in the hopes that that’s what he was releasing.How many genuine characters has the past decade or so in music turned out? Now I could sit here all year and list every single song they have released, but it would probably be more beneficial to google them, find their songs on Spotify, Youtube, or wherever you get your music from… Listen to eeeevery single one. Somebody else - i’ve known about this song for ages, probably the only one i really knew before i delved deeper into the songs they’d released I was reading an amazing book called ‘The Last Time We Say Goodbye’ by Cynthia Hand, and i just had the song on loop, it was very fitting considering the subject of the book, but still! (By the way definitely check out that book if you’re an avid ‘make yourself cry by reading sad books for fun’ kind of person…) I always wanna die (sometimes) - I listened to this song ON REPEAT from about 9pm to 5am… I have a problem.
My favourite songs by them are as follows: They won 2 Brit Awards last night (best British group and best British album) and I’m sooo proud of them! I discovered that they’d very recently (November) released an album called ‘A brief inquiry into online relationships’, and let me just say… a-mazing! They’ve changed my life I swear. I’ve known about them for years, but never started fully listening to their stuff… until about 2 months ago. So, as you can see by my username, it might be a teeeny bit obvious that I have a major thing for the 1975.
