The 1975 drop "People" single

2019-08-22 by hobblepot | 40 Comments
British band The 1975 have released a new song from their upcoming album Notes on a Conditional Form titled "People". The track is a very drastic departure from the band's established sound.

This is the second song released thus far, the first being a self-titled intro track with a voiceover by Greta Thunberg.

You can hear "People" here:




Notes on a Conditional Form is due February 21st.

they don't have an established sound, genre-hopping is their thing. this post-hardcore lead single isn't an indication of the rest of the album, bet it will be another stylistic mess

"they don't have an established sound"

They have a clear formula, this is far from what we come to expect from them, they do a little experimenting but at their core they're a pop band.

what is their formula? they've had shoegaze, ambient, glitch etc. on their records. it's a jack of all trades deal, so it ain't that surprising they've added post-hardcore to the mix

Instrumental is pretty sweet. You'd think it was a QOTSA song or something if it was purely instrumental

fucking thank god, their last album had so much potential (i.e. "Love it if We Made it," "Sincerity Is Scary") and i'm glad that they're actually trying to push boundaries (albeit not that much) like they've advertised themselves as. excited for this record a lot more than A Brief Inquiry, hopefully Notes on a Conditional Form will be much more consistent and ambitious then Inquiry

To me they've nailed every single style they've taken on - including this. (except maybe for the autotune-y ones)

This is ok, but it looks like they're attempting to sound like Marilyn Manson

Really don’t get the hype for this band. This song is better than their usual stuff, though. However, the vocals and instruments don’t really mesh together very well imo

Heard this on the radio last night. Banger!
Just checking out their back catalogue, scratching my head.

I feel like their political message finally matches their execution. I love the lyrics on this one. WELL MY GENERATION WANNA, F*** BARRACK OBAMA, LIVIN' IN A SAUNA WITH LEGAL MARIJUANA.

I can dig it. That music video is fucking great! Never actually listened to their discography, but props to them for doing something completely different and doing it surprisingly well

first 1975 track I actually listened to and Im impressed. Nice mixture between old school post hardcore and dance punk. definitely my kinda shit

They do most genres super well if you enjoy danceable as hell pop music with (mostly) great lyrics and performances.

On another note, their reading/leads performance of this is absolutely ridiculous.
