The 1975‘s Matty Healy has spoken to NME about the band’s decision to riff on the sound of LCD Soundsystem‘s classic single ‘All My Friends’ for the opener of their new album, ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’.
Each opening track of The 1975’s opening albums is traditionally self-titled. This time, it bears a similar duelling piano riff and rhythm to LCD Soundsystem’s 2007 single from their second album ‘Sound Of Silver’.
Speaking to NME for last week’s Big Read cover story, Healy hailed the James Murphy-penned track as “the most reflective, celebratory, present, nostalgic” track and “the best song ever”.
“It is,” he continued. “Especially for guys exactly our age. It’s our song. It’s the cool guys’ ‘Mr Brightside’.”
