The 1975 - Notes on a Conditional Form (May 22, 2020) Album • Page 171

Where was it though?

 

THEY PLAYED MENSWEAR LIVE TONIGHT

 

The banger returnssss yesss

 

"Well I only bought 3, what you looking at me for...?"

 

one of my favorites

 

SHE SAID “MAYBE I WOULD LIKE YOU BETTER IF YOU TOOK OFF YOUR CLOTHES”

 

BAH-NAH-NAH-nahhh, BAH-NAH-NAH-nahhh

 

Not sure I understand the zany marketing strategy behind what’s supposed to be a ‘quiet, dusky acoustic song’ tho

 

I don't know what they're strategy is at all with these albums. I think they're having a bit of an identity crisis. The self titled/ILIWYS era's had such a strong sense of style and mood for each album, Music for Cars feels like a bunch of ideas hastily slopped together while somehow even more drawn out.

 

To be fair that description was before a majority of the album was recorded, the song easily could have changed

 

That drastically? Idk haha

 

I have a feeling a lot of this has to do with Matty's feelings on how music is being consumed. Especially with an album housing 22 songs.

 

Meaning in terms of sound. This band never had a huge mainstream single outside of Chocolate, which was really only an alternative hit

 

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but the source code for that Mindshowers link has a bunch of affirmations in it.

I googled a random chunk and it seems to stem from some self help author? 101 Best Louise Hay Affirmations of All Time

No clue what it has to do with anything but it's kinda fun.

 

Andy Luckers has once again done god's work. Jaiy Twins now feature in the song staging.

 

If You're Too Shy is so good.

 

Yeah, song’s been stuck in my head for days. Not going to listen to the live video again until the album comes out. No wonder they were excited to play it.

 

I'm avoiding listening to Guys fully because apparently (I think I read this) Matty said it's the final track on the album, but I checked it out a bit and it sounds so lovely. I will, however, be playing Too Shy nonstop until we get this hahaha

 

Guys had that plodding along Paris vibe to me.

 

Guys seems like one of those songs that only this band could make work.

 

Got the plodding right lol

 

It's all 100% correct. I double checked.

 

Oooo "If You're Too Shy" is my favorite of the Notes releases so far

 

So basically three new tracks this week. Coolio. Hopefully this one bangs too. No more slow shit
