вЂњIt's being part of a generation that has that the apparatus to reference at a million miles a minute. What he consumes has a direct relationship with what emerges from his fingers and lips. To feed his insatiable appetite to create, Healy devours a lot. My tagline is: 'We create in the way that we consume'.вЂќ We never had any preconceptions of what kind of record we wanted to make вЂ“ we just made the music for the purity of it. вЂњI think that it's just a record that doesn't and doesn't need to adhere to any rules. вЂњIt's been defined by how polarising it is,вЂќ Healy continues. often pairs deep, dark backdrops with sassy lyrics, and peppy pop with shadowy ruminations. He's not wrong: I like it when you sleep. The words are a lot more morose compared to the music.вЂќ It's overtly juxtaposed with a lyrical content that's different to how I am musically. вЂњI suppose why I said that is because it's self aware, not only due to the references in it, but also because it knows it's pop music. While the hacks have struggled to pigeonhole The 1975's new LP, Healy summed it up as вЂњPost-Modern PopвЂќ.

вЂњThat's what the record stands for that's what the record is.вЂќ that's 'the thing', isn't it?вЂќ Says Matty Healy, one of these four men. вЂњThe polarising, stylistic element of it and the fact it doesn't stick to one genre. It's a complex record, and it's born from the minds of four young men. It's doused in astute wit and acerbic observations on love, people, fame, and society. It's a 17-track behemoth that flirts between post rock, funk, electro, cinematic instrumentals, gospel, pop, acoustic balladry, dance, shoegaze, and more. Their latest album, I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, is a jukebox of brilliance, paying homage to James Turrell, Dan Flavin, and My Bloody Valentine in the same breath as Soft Cell, The Blue Nile, and Duran Duran, fidgeting between styles, wearing disguises, revealing alter egos, and repositioning itself on the fly.
