Looks like we're going further down the atmospheric well. Sex EP + Music for Cars EP = LP3 in 2018 Promo so far:
Maybe my favorite of the EPs? Either that or Sex. The idea of it as an album is the most exciting thing.
The title of the album being "Music for Cars" has been confirmed by a Q Magazine interview released today. Matty stated that he's aiming for the quality of OK Computer and The Queen Is Dead.

Idk if I like the idea that they're actively trying to reach for the quality of those instead of just trying to write the best songs possible within the context of the album. But I have no idea about their songwriting process so maybe that pressure is what they work best under. Though, if there's one modern band the I think would be able to achieve that quality it would most definitely be The 1975.
Maybe it's because I'm from a younger generation and I don't put too many "classic" albums on pedestals, but that's not unreasonable at all. Those are two damn fine records to shoot for, I couldn't be more ready.
