My creative pursuit doesn't elicit much happiness because a lot of the time it's about the darker side of me. That's the way it should be, if you're really challenging yourself. But yeah, it's f**king torture.

Music for Cars was an EP named for our love for Brian Eno. We're using it as the album title now because of how meta and self-referential everything has become in the world of The 1975, and Music for Cars was always my favourite title of everything we'd ever done; so it's kinda made sense to wrap it up that way.

Matty on why the album it’s called Music for Cars // NME Magazine

[myashtraygirl]

ITS THE THIRD PART OF A TRILOGY. Our first three albums are the story of a person; it's always kind of been my story. It spanned adolescence to maturity, success and trying to mediate the two, and the third one is where we are now. I haven't really decided the statement of where we are now yet. It's sort of difficult to understand the present.

“I know that I may talk too much, just like I’m wired or in a rush, but when it’s dark to act like lightning makes it all a bit less frightening.”

I’m doing pop music for the art of it. I think pop music is the ultimate context of human creative expression
