The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 26

His Dad said Oh Caroline is the banger, I think?

 

this production is fantastic. idk if y'all listened to the rest of the BBC interview, but it sounds like the whole record was mainly recorded live in London and Electric Lady in NY with Jack and "some of their friends"

 

Jack is surely the most prolific producer going right now isn’t he - it’s like every big name act wants to work with him now

 

this is my favorite band and it feels weird to work in hypotheticals, a single straight-ahead (for them) upbeat rock song within this sound would be an easy top five 1975 song for me.

 

Very much so, a lot of his stuff is starting to sound similar though.

 

Do we get Taylor backing vocals somewhere on this album with Jack involved?

 

Did Michelle imply she is on this track or just on the album in general?

 

he must actually be an incredible collaborator. everyone who works with him says it in interviews but it must be true.

 

The 1989

 

Didn’t Matty and Taylor have a relationship in early early 1975 days? I don’t necessarily mean they dated, but I was under the impression they at least knew each other.

 

I think all it was, was that she attended one of their shows or something and maybe met the band backstage after and that was it

 

it was rumored heavily but amounted to v little

there was also speculation that “she’s american” was about taylor, it’s better to not care tho

 

Remember when they worse each other’s t-shirts at shows?

 

Finally able to comment: wow, stunning song. Production and songwriting is some of their most dense and accomplished imo, as the orchestral/folk/sax/flute/etc are all doing really diffferent things, and the start stop between the chorus/verse/bridge shouldn’t work, but does

I want to hear the stems for this so badly lol

 

The music video is to die for. I love it.

 

Jack Antonoff has ruined nearly every project he's been a part of, splashing white guy guitars, tinny drums, and excessive vocal harmonies into everything until it's just a shitty Bon Iver rip off.

He did it to Clairo, he did it to Lorde, he did it to Taylor. I hate that man's work with a passion.

This is song is pretty good though.

 

I do not like this. :(

 

That’s a very spicy take, but I respect your opinion

 

Yeah and tbh, I don’t really care much for this song either, after a few listens, but I’m completely confident I’ll love the album as a whole when it’s released

 

There was one interview I think where it was heavily hinted that they made out back stage. But it was based in rumors.

Pretty sure "She's American" is just about all the American women that wanted to date the idea of Matty the British rock star.

 

“The Band” never ceases to impress me. The song and video are splendid.

 

I thought She’s American was about Halsey

 

new song is nice, hope this album is a little more cohesive? than the last couple

 

This is great

 

Anyone else not get an order confirmation? My card was charged, but no email. Page refreshed when I went back to it so I didn’t capture the order # if it was shown.

edit: nvm. A hold was put on my card for the amount, but you have to confirm the order on Dirty Hit’s site once more even after PayPal does it’s thing?
