I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, the second album from the 1975, landed on 26 February 2016 through Dirty Hit and Polydor, and the rollout was half the fun. Matthew Healy had been dropping its lyrics in cryptic tweets since 2014; the band then wiped their social accounts, came back with a brand-new look and confirmed the record in September 2015.
What they delivered is glossy, restless and gleefully overstuffed, flitting between strutting pop rock, indie guitar shimmer and long stretches of ambient haze. Healy fronts it on vocals and guitar, with Adam Hann on guitar, Ross MacDonald on bass and George Daniel on drums, Daniel also being the band's main producer. "Love Me" preens, "Somebody Else" sulks in slow motion, "The Sound" goes for the rafters. It went to number one in both Britain and America, and even its box set earned a Grammy nomination for its packaging.
