I'm surprised that there's been no thread for this band yet! They're one of my favourite new artists of the year, and "Chocolate" is an absolute TUNE. "The City" (originally from The Facedown EP, but soon to be re-released on the IV EP in May) is also excellent, and the album is due to follow in September. Listen to the song and enjoy if you're yet to hear it:

The City is brilliant, it's not as good as Chocolate but it's still really decent.

SO EXCITED :wub: has the rest of the tracklisting for IV been announced yet?

I thought they were pretty weak. Got hold of their singles and didn't really get excited by any of them :(

IV up for pre order https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/iv-ep/id642924072 :cheer:

Do we know if the version of "The City" is the same as the one from Facedown?

I think they're ok but nothing special. Very much an 80s sound though and I'd hoped we were over that by now

The album is self-titled, so I suppose the thread title can be updated! :D

 

Really looking forward to hearing/buying this! :wub:

I'm looking forward to my iTunes reading: "The 1975" by The 1975 - The 1975 *.* 16 songs is a great amount though, hopefully it's up to the standard of "Chocolate"! I like "The City", but it never clicked as much as the former.

I think they're tempting fate by calling one of their songs 'Menswear', but I'm looking forward to seeing what goods they deliver. I assume that 'Sex' might get a re-release before the album.

Could be worse. They could have called it Menswe@r :lol: They might even have gone as far as including a track called Northern Uproar.

Sex is a massive tune so hopefully they do re release it.. cannot wait for this album :wub:

I very much doubt they'd get the link!

I liked "Sex" and "Chocolate". "The City" never really clicked with me, but I will def give the album a listen.

they've re recorded Sex :( (not sure why it was fine as it was) and it's the hottest record on Zane's show 7:30
