i can never quite tell if the egomania is part of his pop star persona or if he really believes his own hype lmao
This week it was announced that The 1975 had renewed their contract with their label for another three albums – including the upcoming ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’ later this year. “Dirty Hit was a label started for them, so the legalities were always secondary to the mode we wanted to operate within,” Evans told NME. “It’s just the formalities catching up with the practicalities.”
Asked if there was already a plan is place as to what the two albums after ‘Notes On Conditional Form’ will involve, Evans replied: “Oh my god, do you know what – there is. I’m refusing to talk to Andy [frontman] about it at the moment because it’s making me really anxious!
“We’ll worry about that when we’ve finished ‘Notes…’, because I strongly believe that you can only make one album at a time. But he does very much have quite a defined idea for what the follow-up is, what it’s called and what it actually sounds like. The kid’s a fucking force of nature and I love it. It keeps everyone on their toes.”
Evans added: “I always say that there are two types of artist: those who want to do it and those who have to do it. Paper Sea and a lot of the artists that we work to fall into the latter category. There isn’t another option. This is their identity, it’s how they express themselves, it’s the thing that keeps them alive.”
“Andy and Alan [Cross, drummer] never stop writing,” Evans told NME. “I love hearing all the speculation about whether or not they’ve finished and the release date, but the truth of it is that the tap never turns off. They’re always trying to better the last thing that they’ve done. On the last UK tour Alan had a studio set up in the dressing room. That’s what he does.”
Evans also confirmed that Sutcliffe's dream of playing a residency with a different album and ‘era’ performed live each night would “definitely” be taking place
“I don’t know when it will be, but it will be one of the final things we do [after the next album],” he told NME. “Those things sound like they’re really easy to do, but because we’re always trying to keep ticket prices lower and not promote a hierarchy within music fans, these things can be quite hard to do in isolate – so we’ll be building them into our wider plans. We need to make it work but still affordable for kids.”

two time grammy winning pop star nicola parr slows things down with her cover of paper sea's "antichrist" during last night's 2019 brit awards
someone tell me that i'm not the only person who thinks that it was disrespectful as fuck for nicola to do antichrist live when paper sea hasn't ever?? idk if she was trying to prove that they're cool now but
parrfection: she did she lays down at her brits week show the night before and nobody gave a fuck. this is classic tumblr trying to make something out of nothing. when has andrew sutcliffe (or his wife tbh) ever avoided tweeting about something they thought was fucked up? if they don't have a problem with it neither should you.
