The 1975

While out looking for Blurryface, I happened upon The 1975 CD on clearance. Chocolate, their song that hit the top charts, was the only song I had heard before. Even though I had heard only that song, I loved the style of music and trusted my iTunes radio station that I'd like this artist.

     On the way back home from the store, I popped the disc in and listened. I have to say, I really like almost every song; a few are just, bleh, but the rest are amazing. The style of the music is so unique and the singer has a very distinct voice, I like it. I guess the sound is almost retro. Like with most, I don't have a 'favorite' song out of this CD, but I really like She Way Out and Chocolate a lot. This isn't the kind of music I'd jam out to, but instead chill to. It's nice to draw to and relax to. The disc and case is very simple and pretty and I love the way it looks. The vinyl is so pretty, too. I think I even saw one that was pink. The 1975 isn't my favorite group, it's more of an acquired sound, but they are good and I'm still getting used to this new style (at least new to me).

     Another group with a similar, retro sound I recently discovered is The Wombats. One song I had heard by them a long while ago on my Bastille iTunes Radio Stations was Jump Into the Fog, but I never looked into it. After listening to their album This Modern Glitch on YouTube, this disc got added to my extensive list of music to purchase. I'm pretty sure the vinyl was also at the place where I got my Bastille vinyl, so I may check back there for it. With this new path, I'll be posting lots of musical trash and treasure I find!

 

I may have said this before, but soon I'll be posting a picture of all my CDs together in a stack to allow you a look at my lovely collection. I'll probably include what each disc is and my favorite song(s) from each album. I also have a lot of fashion posts are the way, so don't go off the grid yet!
