Original Post:

Third album confirmed! Looks like we're going further down the atmospheric well.

Sex EP + Music for Cars EP = LP3 in 2018

Promo so far:

 

I wasn't a of fan of the last album but I'm looking forward to what they do next.

 

ready for whatever

 

Love.

 

I simultaneously love and absolutely hate that this band teases this far ahead.

 

they're actually just rereleasing the EP named Music For Cars in 2018

 

but we're barely in 2017!! ahhh

 

Maybe my favorite of the EPs? Either that or Sex. The idea of it as an album is the most exciting thing.

 

good shit. keep it coming.

 

Feels weird to leave the other thread to start fresh with this one. So much history there!

 

can you recap anything relevant for an infrequent forum user?

 

The title of the album being "Music for Cars" has been confirmed by a Q Magazine interview released today. Matty stated that he's aiming for the quality of OK Computer and The Queen Is Dead.

 

That's certainly aiming high haha!

 

So ready for this.

Idk if I like the idea that they're actively trying to reach for the quality of those instead of just trying to write the best songs possible within the context of the album. But I have no idea about their songwriting process so maybe that pressure is what they work best under.

Though, if there's one modern band the I think would be able to achieve that quality it would most definitely be The 1975.

 

Just geeked he name dropped Jarvis Cocker in there haha.

 

Maybe it's because I'm from a younger generation and I don't put too many "classic" albums on pedestals, but that's not unreasonable at all. Those are two damn fine records to shoot for, I couldn't be more ready.

 

This band can do whatever the hell they want. I'm here for it

 

holy shit

 

Super excited that this is confirmed.

 

What exactly is confirmed?

 

2018? aw

 

curious to see what happens after the trilogy, what would change
