So I just happened to be sat next to somebody who must have been reading that book, because that was the page that I glanced at, and the sentence just made a lot of sense. At the time, I lived in quite a hipstery part of London, so if you get the train from Clapton into Central there’s normally a lot of arty types on the train. Not necessarily by the essay itself, but by the title – it was curated into a book called ‘You Are Here: Art After The Internet’. Talking about the inspiration behind the record’s title, Matty says: ‘The Context Of The Digital: A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships’ is the title of Gene McHugh’s essay. “A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships” Q&A On September 10, the band revealed the cover art for the album in a tweet. I love moving things forward I love technology. It needs to be hopeful it needs to be fearful, it needs to be everything I am. There’s anger in ‘A Brief Inquiry…’, but there’s everything in there. What does reality mean in 15 years, if this is our base reality? I’m talking about all relationships that are mediated online. ’A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’ is all relationships. Healy explains the main theme and message of ABIIOR: I want people to look back and think our records were the most important pop records that a band put out in this decade. If you look at third albums, ‘OK Computer’ or ‘The Queen Is Dead’, that’s what we need to do,” he said. On speaking about the release of A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, Healy stated in an interview with NME: Matty stated that these two albums would be part of the “Music for Cars era”, with “era” referring to “the Umbrella for whatever music comes out in this timeframe”. Have we actually done anything?ĪBIIOR was announced as the first of two parts, with plans for the second album Notes on a Conditional Form to be released in June 2019. But I also thought we’re not good enough to quit yet. It would have been at the end of the decade, and it would have been this whole decade-long thing, and stylistically I love that. The reason I did that is that when you’re a writer, you want a good ending. Matty Healy thought that the third album should be the last one for the band but then he changed his mind and decided to make two records and release them in a six months time:įor a while, I’d been thinking that this would be our last album. The band originally planned to release an EP titled What a Shame which was called off, as the project had “become something bigger” according to the band’s manager Jamie Oborne. The album got leaked four days before the official release. A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships is The 1975’s third studio album that was released on 30 November 2018.
