Matty Healy and his band of misfit Brits are set to release two albums back to back, doing things a little differently than they have in the past.
In an interview with Music Week, the band’s manager Jamie Osborne said that the band is trying to make the most out of the paradigm shift in music consumption where there’s little time to promote and infinite time to consume. Speaking on Healy’s decision to release two albums at once, he said, “He felt very strongly that, if we have a tour cycle that’s going to last 18 months to two years, we have to release two records in the time that we would have previously have released one.”
A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships is scheduled to be released later this year through Dirty Hit, while Notes On a Conditional Form is due out in spring of 2019. The 1975 were originally set to release one album titled Music For Cars, but now these two records will fall under the Music For Cars umbrella that’s ushering in the new era of the band.
