The band announced through social media that new music would drop on June 1st, and at first, we anticipated an entire album, but later learned it would only be a single titled "Give Yourself a Try." Although being initially excited by the news, everyone was awaiting the new single with the looming fear that it would be a disappointment. The top of the photo revealed what would soon be known as their next album title: A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships.

Things finally began to become more (or less?) clear at the end of April, when a photo was posted onto their Instagram that contained a poem. Other hits off the album included the hip-hop inspired tune "Loving Someone" as well as somber melancholy pop jams "Somebody Else" and "A Change of Heart." Since the announcement of the I Like It When You Sleep album, June 1st has always been the most important day of the year for The 1975 and fans everywhere.įans never know what to expect on June 1st, and this year was no different. The album was extremely versatile, ranging from frilly, pompous pop-rock tracks like "Love Me" and "The Sound" to "If I Believe You," a swinging track which is accompanied with a church choir in the background. The band first disappeared on June 1st of 2015, returning from their black-and-white post punk days as a pink pop band for the release of I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It. So, in turn, you have to be prepared for absolutely anything that this band is about to slap you in the face with. BY CASSIDY GRADY It's June 1st, and if you are a rectangle-worshiping fan of British pop band The 1975, then you know what that means, or should I say, you have absolutely no clue what that means.
