Background
In 2017, The 1975 announced their third studio album would be titled Music for Cars,[1] in reference to their 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.[2]
On 21 Feb 2019, the band announced that the first single from the album would release on 31 May, with the album following "before Reading Festival", which is scheduled to take place on 23 August 2019.[3]
Music
In an interview with Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Healy explained that the album would be inspired by British nighttime culture, adding that it contains references to "the beauty of the M25 and all those lights and going to McDonald's and listening to garage records in a haze in a Peugeot 206."[4] He also told Q that the album has a style similar to English alternative hip hop music group The Streets and British electronic musician Burial.[5] In a separate interview, he added that the record has "one of my best lyrics ever."[6]
On Beats 1, Healy confirmed that the first single will be released at midnight on May 31st 2019, and said that the band are trying to decide between three songs to lead off the next album.[7]
