    Hearing him describe the first album as an "80s teen movie" is so insane to me because when it came out I was 17 and basically in this phase where I was obsessed with turning my life into a classic teen movie. And the first time I heard The 1975 (as introduced by a guy I liked, of course) it blew my mind because it was uncannily perfect for that point in my life

    "and do you know why I did that? because I'm a wanker!" - this, right here, is why Matty and The 1975 more generally, get to have their moments of pretention and self-indulgence. They're in on the jokes, they get it and, tbh, they're the most interesting band around right now because of it.

    Their aesthetic is so incredibly chic. So many clever, beautiful choices, so well done. Matty is a true artist.

    Had the pleasure of seeing them live last weekend in Glasgow, and it was easily the best looking gig I've been to from an aesthetic stand point.

    To me, nothing can beat ILIWYS. It was mature, introspective, humiliating, gentle and so so vulnerable. Beautiful record.

    I’ve said it on numerous videos, I admire Matty so much. He’s very self and socially aware and continues to grow as a person and artist. Not sure I would ever want to commit to spending too much time in his mind but I would love to have a conversation with him. These are some of my favorite videos, where they just let him talk and explain his ideas.

    Jeez I am crazy cus I followed every word of that. I could listen to him talk all day. I dont think anyone plans out their videos lyrics songs themed aesthetics like him I bet the next three albums are already done in his mind. There is truly not many people like him he knows exactly what he wants to achieve and produces it. Even the highest paid stars and some of the greats he looks up to dont FULLY produce their own voice. I could go on but Bravo!!!
