The 1975 Unveil Video For ’The City’ - Watch Now

Manchester art-pop quartet The 1975 will release their new single 'The City' on May 20th. It follows three acclaimed EPs, 'Facedown', 'Sex' and 'Music For Cars', and will be released through Dirty Hit/Polydor. 

The band’s year so far has been as memorable as their ambition is high. They recently embarked on a support slot across Europe with Two Door Cinema Club, played a clutch of triumphant shows at SXSW and had a Top 20 hit with 'Chocolate', the indelible future-pop art-rock centrepiece of their 'Music For Cars' EP.

Whilst 'Chocolate' has been the crossover hit of the year so far (it was on the Radio 1 A-list for 4 weeks, reached the top slot on Hypemachine and its video has had almost 2 million views on Youtube), new single 'The City' will take the group to even more searing heights. Produced by Arctic Monkeys collaborator Mike Crossey, it was introduced to the world Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record. It's a snapshot of the band’s shape-shifting appeal and their songs have had over 1.5 million plays on Soundcloud.

This success has set up The 1975 as one of the year’s breakthrough bands. Their headline May tour is sold out, as are two shows at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire and Manchester’s The Ritz in September.
