Speaking to NME, 1975 singer Matt Healy described the new album as a commentary on the band after their meteoric rise to fame. “Our first three albums are the story of a person; it’s always kind of been my story. It spanned adolescence to maturity, success and trying to mediate the two, and the third one is where we are now. I haven’t really decided the statement of where we are now yet. It’s sort of difficult to understand the present”.
Ahead of the album’s release, the Manchester group have released three singles – ‘Give Yourself A Try‘, ‘TooTimeTooTimeTooTime‘ and ‘Love It If We Made It‘.
