The 1975 - Being Funny in a Foreign Language (Oct 14, 2022) Album • Page 24

I'm really enamored with the vocal production on this.

 

Jack Antonoff is a better fit than I expected for them

 

incredible song, didn't expect this at all

 

Music video

 

The song doesn't blow me away but it has me really excited to hear it in the context of the record. More of that style would be great.

 

Brief Inquiry -> Self Titled -> ILIWYS -> Notes

 

So sick.

 

this sounds most like vampire weekend to me

 

Reiterating everyone's other thoughts that it's not what was expected. I like it a lot even though it's definitely a differently constructed song from their usual stuff. There really is a huge disconnect between how we're talking about it vs reddit.

It's definitely a wayyy younger group over there based on some of the comments.
'Mattys voice is worse because he's old now'
'This is sounds like The Beatles or 60/70's music'.

It's funny how much Matty can change his voice depending on the song. I mean compare these vocals to something like chocolate and the inflections and tone are vastly changed.

 

it's taking several listens, but this is growing on me. here for the Bleachers/Bon Iver comparisons.

 

Loving this. Heard a lot of Bon Iver but didn’t hear any Bleachers, although apparently Jack did work on it

 

Not only does the chorus sound like bon iver, but he straight up rips the skinny love "my my my" in the verse lol.

 

Song is great. I'm sure the 2nd single is going to blow us all out of the water like Frail State did.

 

There’s nothing exciting about this, it’s literally Bon Iver.

 

drum sound is very different for them

 

Parts of this sound like he is doing a Dylan impression.

 

lyrics are schizo and I love them

 

Has no one listened to Bon Iver since like 2011 or something? Heh.

 

I mean it legit sounds like several bon iver songs from i,i put together

 

Gonna catch up so apologies if it's been said but it sounds like The National to me

 

The Dylan comparisons were the first thing I heard. I think these are some of Matty's best lyrics. Gained a whole new appreciation for the song paying attention to those.

 

the dylan comparisons are apt and intended i'd imagine as he was just on the subreddit a few days ago talking about trying to do stuff in the greenwich village tradition

 

I dig this more than I expected to

 

There’s a fair amount of i,i that sounds similar. I’ve always felt they had Bon Iver as a recent influence.

 

Oh hell yeah
