The 1975 had already postponed the release of their new album, Notes On A Conditional Form, once.
But now, we regret to inform you, the release date has been shifted yet again.
The band have not explained the latest change of tactic, announcing it by way of a social post featuring merely the new date (Friday, 22nd May) alongside a new design for the album cover, as well as a full 22-song tracklist.
Yep, you read that right. 22 damn songs!
And there’s more good news — we’ll be hearing one of them this week!
Matt Healy & co’s new jam, dubbed ‘Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America’, will be landing in our ears this Friday, 3rd April, ahead of the release of the band’s next official single, ‘If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)’, which we’re told will follow soon after that.
ICYMI: Notes On A Conditional Form has been fraught with delays and conceptual changes, originally announced under the title Music for Cars before having its name changed to Drive Like You Do.
It was originally scheduled for release on February 21st but was then postponed until April 24th with a new album cover, before the band reverted back to the original album cover a few days later.
It’s now due out on Friday, 22nd May with a brand new album cover, which you can check out below.
P.S. we’ve actually heard incoming fresh cut ‘Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America’ performed live by Healy in the past. You can watch his acoustic performance of the tune from April 2019 below, too.
