The 1975 brought their self-titled debut album to the US earlier this week with two performances on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! chat show – have a watch of ‘Girls‘ and ‘Chocolate‘ below.
The band’s first LP has been a genuine breakthrough hit in the UK led by a string of popular singles during the past year, of which ‘Girls’ and ‘Chocolate’ are undoubtedly a part.
“This album is the soundtrack to our formative years,” frontman Matt Healy has said of the first studio effort. “The culmination of our adolescence and the cornerstone of our material thus far. To physically hold something that you have emotionally and creatively invested so much in is a very rewarding and humbling feeling – but it’s also twinned with a level of uncertainty and fear of exposure. All I know is that it’s an uncompromising and honest depiction of who we are and what we’re about and I’m very proud that we’ve had the opportunity to make an album like that.”
