It’s been a while since The 1975 surprised us with some new music, but it seems they’re finally gearing up for a comeback. The British indie band teased a new album and new era on social media, singling out July 7 as a significant date.
This announcement comes shortly after cryptic posters featuring frontman Matty Healy started popping up across London. They hinted at the band’s return on July 7, and the band finally confirmed they’re working on some new music by sharing a social media post captioned with the words, “Your new album. Your new era. Your old friends. The 1975.”
This announcement doesn’t come as a shocker for the band’s die-hard fans. In a statement canceling their “Notes On A Conditional Form” tour last year due to the pandemic restrictions, the band said they’re currently making a new album and looking forward to seeing their fans at their shows as soon as it’s safe to do so.
The band’s last album Notes on a Conditional Form came out in 2020 and became their fourth record to top the charts in the UK, in addition to making it to the top five in the US. Following its release, the band collaborated with Charli XCX on the song “Spinning”.
