Following the dizzying success of their breakout 2013 debut, The 1975 aim even higher. The poignantly titled *I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it* is a captivating display of all the UK rock chameleons do so well, blending neon ‘80s art-funk confections (“Love Me,” “She’s American”) and heady 21st-century electro-textures (“Somebody Else,” “If I Believe You,” the gorgeous title cut). Held together by frontman Matt Healy’s bold-yet-earnest vocal performances, the result is as anthemic as it is intimate.

The 1975’s second album has a much more distinct and iconoclastic character than their slick debut, drawing from the effervescent polish of early ’80s Hot 100 pop.

The 1975 are a band of contradictions. Their unmistakeable ‘80s aesthetic jars with their boyband fan base. Their claim to serious lyrical content

The meandering second album by Matt Healy’s band is steeped in the ambience of the 80s

The album is a sprawling, compelling ode to the entire pop canon of the 1980s.

A severe case of the Serious Artists can’t dispel the fact that the 1975’s second album is packed full of fantastic pop songs and smart lyrics
