Yeah, a genuine line cut from the new intro track was 'You owe James Murphy 20 percent of this song, your career, and the whole idea/Of living in the city with a tingle of fear.'
f***ing amazing album best band in the world currently
I really feel like they’re the undisputed best band of the 2010s and it’s not even close
Not only from a quality standpoint, but in how they’re the best representation of the 2010s from a musical/cultural standpoint

When? good thing queen swift dropping next week
my only qualm with Jack producing this is that there are songs where it just sounds like thr 1975 covering a Bleachers song
i agree w this but I’d rather it be Matty over bleachers prod than Jack over it lol
“I’m feeling apathetic after scrolling through hell
I think I’ve got a boner but I can’t really tell
…
You’re making an aesthetic out of not doing well
And mining all the bits of you you think you can sell”
This nigga Matty is a genius songwriter
the intro sounds better on second listen. the james murphy line is pretty brilliant tho, sad he cut it
Happiness’ is where we acknowledged that there was a certain lyrical and sonic identity to what The 1975 was. We felt like it wouldn’t be a ’75 record if we didn’t have a song that owned what we did best. The thing is, we weren’t actually very ’80s; we just used loads of sounds that grunge and Britpop made unfashionable because they were associated with Phil Collins or whoever, but we were like, ‘No, that sounds better than that.’ It’s a live record, so there’s a lot of call-and-response, a lot of repetition, because we were in the room, jamming.
“Happiness is like… there’s literally loads of us in the room on that track. Locked eyes… doesn’t really have much structure. It came through like jamming. And we haven’t done that in like years. So we just wanted this record to be really like a captured moment and not be too constructed and even produced that much…. We did it in like a day or so. And it’s us having fun. And I think that there’s this real desire in art to see something remarkable with as little technology as possible.”
see, this is why i love when artists expand a lil bit on their process and why things turn out the way they do. i understand Happiness way more now. this type of song is usually near the end of their records tho, interesting they put it right in the front and got it out the way.
