The 1975's Matty Healy Is Working On New Music While In Quarantine

The 1975 might be gearing up to release its fourth album, Notes on a Conditional Form, next month, but that doesn't mean Matty Healy's not working on new music. During a recent interview, the band's frontman revealed he's been writing in quarantine.

“Yeah, we’re making stuff. I mean, I don’t know if we’re making like a new 1975 record, but to be honest with you, I wouldn’t be surprised, not like an album but like, I don’t know,” he said, hesitant on saying too much. “Me and George [Daniel, drummer and producer] are here and we had a bunch of things that we were going to be working on kind of later on in the year anyway that we just kind of bumped up to now. So that’s good.”

He went on to explain that he and Daniel are also “working on other people’s music” and revisiting old Drive Like I Do material in hopes to put out an album. “I’ve been doing Drive Like I do as well. I’ve been organizing what songs of the old ones that exist on the internet [to use],” he said. “I’m going to put [it] out as an official [release]. The first album that never came out, but I’m going to follow it with… There was so much in between Drive Like I do, early 1975 stuff that just fell at the wayside. No one’s heard any of that.”

Notes on a Conditional Form is slated for a May 22 release. The 1975 has already shared five songs from the album —"Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America," "The Birthday Party," "Me & You Together Song,""Frail State of Mind," and "People."
