You don’t make a 22-track album without experiencing doubts—even when you’re Britain’s biggest band. “We kept laughing to ourselves,” The 1975’s Matty Healy tells Apple Music. “‘Can we really put out a record like this? Can we really be where we are?’ The success of [2018 album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships] didn’t change us, but it certainly made us think, ‘God, this is a lot of responsibility. To be compared to Radiohead. F**king hell. What are we going to do?’”They way they saw it, there were two options. The first was to play to expectation and try to become even bigger. The second—the path they chose—was to return to when they were smallest.
The 1975 return with their 5th studio album, Being Funny In A Foreign Language. The album was written by Matthew Healy and George Daniel and recorded at Real World Studios (UK) and Electric Lady Studios (NYC). Formed in Manchester in 2002, The 1975 have established themselves as one of the defining bands of their generation with their distinctive aesthetic, ardent fanbase and unique sonic approach. They were named NME’s Band of the Decade and Best Group at the BRIT Awards.
Chart-topping band The 1975 play songs from their second studio album – I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It – with the full BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. This release comes for the first time on CD and adds a version of “Chocolate” originally included on their 2013 Music For Cars EP.
A comprehensive anthology of music from the mythic first leg of Bob Dylan’s groundbreaking Rolling Thunder Revue, this 14CD box set includes all five of Dylan’s full sets from that tour that were professionally recorded. The collection also provides the listener with an intimate insider’s seat for recently unearthed rehearsals at New York’s S.I.R. studios and the Seacrest Motel in Falmouth, MA plus a bonus disc showcasing one-of-a-kind performances from the tour.
