We’ve had so much info about what’s going on with the 1975 tonight, it’ll probably keep us fed for months - and almost all of it direct from
Matty Healy’s gob.
Appearing on BBC Radio 1 and Beats 1, we’ve had info about a new ‘era’, a change of plans, two albums, touring and all sorts of other stuff. Here - in his own words - is what we can expect over the next twelve month.
‘Music For Cars’ isn’t an album, it’s an era. And it won’t be the end of the 1975.
“So, what it was. I realised when I was doing ‘I like it when you sleep..’, the album before this one. Any writer wants a good ending in their repertoire, that’s a thing that you want. The drive to do that stylistically was so potent within me when I was making the last record. I was thinking “well, I always said I wanted to do three albums and that’s what I’m going to do. I set out to do that. When I started making this record, the primary drive of why I want to make music, which is really the only thing that makes me happy, kicked in at such a rate that I thought, “well, I’m not going to stop doing The 1975 now. I’m not going to do 3 albums. I’m going to do loads of albums”. Not so many that we spoil it but I’m not stopping making records now because I just couldn’t bear the idea of it.

The new album is called ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships'. Though it isn’t finished yet.
