Healy’s band The 1975 are gearing up to release their latest album ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’ on May 22.
Speaking in an interview last week, Healy likened his lyric-writing method on ‘Notes…’ to the craft of stand-up comedy.
“The best comedians are the ones who express their biggest ideas in the fewest words, that’s something I strive to do,” Healy said.
“If the album isn’t funny, it’s deeply earnest or about my deepest fears and anxieties,” he added, before saying that he thought that ‘Playing On My Mind’ and ‘Roadkill’ were “probably my funniest songs”.
Later this week, The 1975 will host an online listening party for their album ‘I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It’.
