The 1975 are in the process of writing new songs on the road during their already booked up touring schedule and could have an EP out by the end of this year.
Frontman Matt Healy offered the update during an interview with MTV, explaining: “I feel as if I have a responsibility to myself to make whatever I do do as good as what preceded it, if not better. I’m writing about stuff that happened to me this year, death, coming of age.”
“It’s going to be weird though, this next record, it already is,” he continued. “We never really wrote individually, because we lived in the same rooms, we wrote on the same laptops.”
“The goal is to survive. We might do an EP actually, later on this year. Maybe not. We said that we want, if we could, to put out a second album two years to the day from when the first one came out that would be very 1975 of us.”
Off the coat-tails of their breakthrough single ‘Chocolate‘, The 1975 lapped up immediate commercial success in the UK with the release of their eponymous debut album, entering at number one in the September of last year.
