Ahead of the release of Notes On a Conditional Form, the1975’s fourth studio album, Matt Healy (Truman_black) spoke to Vogue about vulnerability; his revised definition of punk rock; and his new quarantine buddy, a puppy called Mayhem.
Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975, is experiencing somewhat spotty service. The musician, 31, has been quarantining with his bandmate George Daniel since March, but when Healy and I speak, he is driving around the English countryside. On May 22, the band is releasing their fourth album,, originally scheduled for February 21, and then April 24.
Not really—it just happens by proxy. Every time I make a record I put everything into it, so by the time I record the next one, of course I’m a slightly different person. But it’s not that the well is dry because I’ve put everything in previously. It’s just that the stuff that I have to draw from either becomes hyper-specific or really fundamental.
What was your approach when it came to engaging with and shifting within so many different genres in this album? It has gospel, Jamaican dancehall, ambient sounds, 80s synth-pop...

A lot of it was quite fun and nice—“Me and You Together Song” happened really quickly. I wrote and tracked that in a night and it was just, so that was a really good one. I remember “Frail State of Mind” and “Then Because She Goes” were the first two things for the record, and as soon as I had those two songs, I was like, “Okay, I think I understand this record.
I was very pre-internet in my teens, I was there just before all that shit happened. I think the internet, for me, I just find it incredibly fascinating. At the moment there’s a lot of Zoom and FaceTime and stuff. People are very much using it as the original idea, which was about extending our preexisting relationships so that you can talk to your fucking mum when she’s on holiday, or you can talk to Barry from work when he’s in China. It was about extending pre-existing communication.
