Feb 19, 2020 The 1975 By Christopher Roberts

The 1975 are releasing a new album, Notes On a Conditional Form, on April 24 via Dirty Hit/Interscope. Now the English band have shared another single from it, “The Birthday Party,” via a computer animated video. The video starts with frontman Matty Healy visiting Mindshower, “a digital detox center,” where he encounters his bandmates and other characters. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Ben Ditto co-directed the video with lead artist Jon Emmony. Ditto had this to say about the video in a press release: “It was truly inspiring to work with The 1975 on this project, combining digital craft with true emotion and a subversive and multilayered narrative. Matty and I have a shared fascination with the underbelly of Internet culture and how that impacts modern life, and we looked to address this from several directions and created an engaging and beautiful piece of filmmaking to contain these messages and their performance in a revolutionary way.”

Previously we posted album opener “Me & You Together Song,” which had a bit of a Britpop vibe.
