The 1975 have been slowly working through reveals of their forthcoming third album 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships'. With four tracks already dropped they now share 'It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)'.
Premiered earlier tonight (October 18) by Annie Mac as her Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, Matt Healy said of the upcoming third full-length out on November 30:
"I think it’s the 1975-iest 1975 song since The 1975 debut record. It’s been so weird putting out singles off this record because there’s so much going on. I don’t really know what to put out first, but this has got a lot of our identity in it. It kind of takes me back a little bit but it’s still quite forward thinking.
"Putting out music without kind of playing shows into it has been a new thing for us - letting people just really objectively react to it - and the reaction’s been so positive and so humbling. It’s a weird time to be alive but it’s an amazing time to be alive for us
"It’s not an homage to anything because I think it’ll be a 1975 record. I don’t really know how to make a really consistent record. It’ll probably be all over the place, but there’s a lot of references to, you know, MJ Cole and The Streets and all the stuff like the nighttime of England, the beauty of the M25 and all those lights and going to McDonalds and listening to garage records in a haze in a Peugeot 206.
"I kind of wanted to make a record that reminded me of that time of my life."
