The 1975 today released “Happiness” – the second track from their highly anticipated forthcoming new album Being Funny In A Foreign Language.
“Happiness” follows the remarkable comeback single “Part Of The Band,” which Pitchfork lauded as “the kind of grand, playful Pop song that only this band could pull off,” and found NME praising the “fearlessness that sees The 1975 unafraid to rip up their own rule book.”
Both tracks will be featured on Being Funny In A Foreign Language, the band’s fifth studio album, which is scheduled for release on Friday, October 14th via Dirty Hit and available to preorder now at the1975.com.
In support of Being Funny In A Foreign Language, the band have also announced details of their forthcoming North American tour: The 1975 At Their Very Best. The newly announced tour dates will see the band play across North America throughout November and December.
Formed in Manchester in 2002, The 1975 have established themselves as one of the defining bands of their generation with their distinctive aesthetic, ardent fanbase and unique sonic approach.
The band’s previous album 2020’s Notes On A Conditional Form became their fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the UK, landing at No. 1 in Australia, too. The band was named NME’s “Band of the Decade” in 2020 after being crowned “Best Group” at the BRIT Awards in both 2017 and 2019. Their third studio album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships also won “Mastercard British Album of the Year” at the 2019 ceremony.
The 1975 will make their live comeback as the headliners of Japan’s biggest Rock festival Summer Sonic 2022, taking place in Tokyo and Osaka in August.
