Healy tweeted out a snippet of his conversation with Eno, where the British music pioneer discusses his first ambient record, Music for Airports. “When that came out, there was a review in an American magazine where the guy said — in very critical terms, he gave it a very poor one-star or something — he said, ‘This music has no beat, no words, no melodies and no chord changes.’ And I thought, ‘Ah, that was a success, then.’”
The 1975 will release their latest album, Notes on a Conditional Form, on May 22nd via Dirty Hit. They have shared a half dozen singles from the LP so far, including “People,” “Frail State of Mind,” “Me & You Together Song,” “The Birthday Party,” “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America,” and most recently “If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know).”
