Following 2018’s A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, Notes on a Conditional Form is the second of two albums from the British band’s third release cycle, “Music for Cars”. Over the past six months, the band has dropped a selection of sonically-diverse singles from Notes on a Conditional Form, beginning with the band’s eponymous first single from the album. Released in July of last year, ‘The 1975’ features a spoken-word recording from Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg, underscored by instrumentals.
On the heels of ‘The 1975’ came the punchy, punk-infused ‘People’, while ‘Frail State Of Mind’, which frontman Matty Healy described as a song about anxiety, followed in October. The two most recent singles off the album included the shoegazey ‘Me & You Together Song’, and the twangy, ‘The Birthday Party’.
Over the weekend, the prolific band also tweeted a message to fans, asking them to contribute material to, a new video. The call to action included several submission options, including, “A video of your creative expression” and, “A video from your phone that makes you proud or makes you laugh”. All fan submissions are due today.
Looking ahead, The 1975 are currently slated to perform at a variety of summer festivals, including Detroit’s Mo Pop and Stavern, Norway’s Stavernfestivalen, before kicking off an extensive European tour this Autumn.
