'''''Notes on a Conditional Form''''' is the upcoming fourth studio album by English [[pop rock]] band [[The 1975]], expected to be released in May 2019, through [[Dirty Hit]] and [[Polydor Records]]. The album follows their third album ''[[A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships|A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships]]'' (2018) and is the second of two albums from their third release cycle, "Music for Cars."

The album was described by frontman Matty Healy as having elements of UK garage rock and some of his best writing.

In 2017, The 1975 announced their third studio album would be titled ''Music for Cars'',<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.spin.com/2017/04/the-1975-music-for-cars-new-album/|title=The 1975 Announce New Album Music for Cars|last=Gordon|first=Jeremy|date=2017-04-27 April 2017|work=Spin|access-date=2 December 2018-12-02}}</ref> in reference to their [[Music for Cars|third extended play of the same name]]. Lead singer Matty Healy stated on Twitter that the band would release the album in 2018, followed by the release of an album under the name ''Drive Like I Do'', the band's previous moniker, in the spring of the next coming years.

On 31 May 2018, the band released the single "[[Give Yourself a Try]]" from their third studio album, now titled ''A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships''. With the release came the announcement that ''Music for Cars'' was no longer an album, but rather an "era" containing two albums, scrapping the planned ''Drive Like I Do'' album in favour of releasing a fourth studio album in May 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Beats1/status/1002263450632925184|title=Beats 1 on Twitter|last=|first=|date=|website=Twitter|accessarchive-url=|archive-date=2018|dead-12url=|access-02date=2 December 2018}}</ref>
