The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 28

I don’t know if comparing things to Bon Iver is lazy, but I certainly got those vibes listening to this, too. Regardless, also definitely sounds like a natural outgrowth of The 1975 sound.

I dig it.

 

Jack’s production is mostly fine. I just can’t stand Bleachers. Loved steel train tho

 

As a causal bleachers fan there are some great songs on the last album.

 

I liked a few songs on the first Bleachers album, then only one of the second one so I never bothered to check out anything else

 

I like the “Rollercoaster” song

 

Bleachers shows are some of the best out there.

This song is pretty good. Glad to have the band back.

 

I saw them do a free show a few years ago and I agree it was a blast, even though I didn’t know 90% of the songs.

 

Hell yeah listened to a couple more times. Love it!

 

I'd highly suggest listening to the last Bleachers album on anything other than Spotify, i.e. Tidal or Qobuz, on a decent pair of headphones or IEMs. There's of lot subtlety that I'm certain most people are missing out on.

 

Whole album sounds like it was recorded on a yak bak

 

I had this exact one

 

a kid name Bryce at my elementary school had this OG mf.

 

song is okay. hear no bleachers tho

 

The second Clairo album is excellent wtf

 

Not as good as Immunity

 

I thought Bon Iver the whole time before checking any comments lol, I see I’m not alone. Doesn’t really matter to me because the acoustic parts in the second half of the song provide variety and I kind of prefer this delivery when the lyrics are like this lol

 

Was his name Kevin?

 

Been a casual fan since 2018 ish. Never dove far into their discography, but this new album rollout made me go through some old singles and I'm really liking what I'm hearing so far.

 

you're all hearing Bleachers and Bon Iver and i'm more hearing Burn The Witch by Radiohead with those plucked strings

 

plus viva la vida lol

 

Killer first single, and the video is amazing too, feel like that's not getting enough attention

I just love how I never have any clue what the next song these guys release is gonna sound like, even within the same album

 

Yup video is killer

 

I didn't hear Bleachers on first listen either, but now I think it's in how the vocals are mixed/layered/filtered.

edit: Similarly, the Bon Iver vibes come from the way he's delivering certain lines I think.

 

I think the song sounds like Bon Iver because it sounds literally like “Skinny Love” and “Strafford APTS”

 

I find the track to be stunning. This will be the perfect soundtrack for the fall. Really love this band.
