Even when they dig below their shallow surface on ‘If I Believe You’ – which sees Healy explore his “God-shaped hole that’s infected” – it’s still pretty catchy. This song seems to be an attack of conscience, and it plays out nicely over smooth beats and saxophone solos.

Scathing comparisons aside, The 1975 know how to deliver effortlessly melodic rhythms and nonsensical, yet catchy lyrics and they achieve this on tracks like ‘She’s American’. It’s a vain, self-pitying, anti-romance anthem but it will appeal to those in their late teens, trapped in tempestuous romances, convinced that cigarettes and personal appearances are the sole components of a successful relationship. ‘A Change Of Heart’ sees the band bust out their slow synths as Healy “quotes On The Road like a twat”. The single sounds similar to ‘Need You Tonight’ by that little known Australian pop-rock outfit, INXS – “similar” being a polite understatement – but the beat’s catchier than a cold on public transport, and your hips will be prone to involuntary thrusts when the chorus kicks in.
Sex and desire have fuelled the band’s song-writing from the start, and new track ‘Love Me’ continues this funky, promiscuous precedent. There are seventeen tracks to listen to, so there’s a genuine danger of falling asleep mid-listen – but they’ve been gracious enough to hint at this in the title – so you’ll need either a genuine love of this band, or a superior amount of patience to fully appreciate their latest offering. The band have returned with their second album, boasting the lengthy romantic title, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It. It was the autumn that ‘Chocolate’ melted the hearts of young girls, and lead singer Matthew Healey appeared in music magazines sporting an exceptionally bold haircut. The 1975 released their debut self-titled album in September 2013.
