Bad branding aside, the 1975 deserve to be heard
I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It reviewed
...a likable effort predominantly composed of catchy, ’80s-inspired new wave with an R&B backbone.
The 1975 aren’t going to win any best band name contests. And the lengthy title of their sophomore release — I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It — won’t likely catch anybody’s ear. Bad branding aside, this indie band of twenty-something Brits who’ve been playing together 14 years deserves to be heard and I Like It When You Sleep is a good place to start.

"The Sound"
...off of the latest album by The 1975
Like their self-titled 2013 debut, this 17-song collection is padded with filler — including three mostly instrumental tracks, some six-minute-plus songs, and a pair of somber tunes that don’t really fit in with the rest of the album. Looking past the extraneous material, you’ll find a likable effort predominantly composed of catchy, ’80s-inspired new wave with an R&B backbone.
If you can recall synth-pop bands from the Decade of Decadence (think Level 42 or When in Rome), you’ll appreciate much of what I Like It When You Sleep has to offer. Lead single “Love Me” instantly grabs you with its Chic-like guitar and Duran Duran groove, while “The Sound” boasts a hooky, familiar chorus that beckons you to the dance floor. Even subtler songs, such as “Somebody Else,” a ballad that beautifully showcases singer Matthew Healy’s smooth vocals, warrant repeated listens.
Though they do occasionally venture out — “The Ballad of Me and My Brain” amps things up and “If I Believe You” is a surprisingly good, though bit prolonged, gospel tune — The 1975 are most at home in the ’80s.
