#20 | THE 1975 | Notes On A Conditional Form
Dirty Hit/Polydor | Official Store
According to Andy Healy: “Perhaps The 1975 are offering the varying styles and moods on Notes as an album to be deconstructed and rebuilt to each of their audiences’ leanings. Want to create a mind drifting collection of ambience and electronica? Slice it this way and there you go. Want to dial things up with some rockers? Grab this lot here. Want to bask in the baring of one’s soul against bare arrangements? Take this, this and that. In fact, in a world where shuffle might be the default, this could be an album that will further reveal its gifts of brilliance with each newly sequenced incarnation. For now, it is an album that will challenge some listeners and reward others. I feel it will be loved and loathed in equal quantities. The one thing that is for sure is it shouldn’t be ignored.”
