The 1975 – “UGH”

The 1975 – “UGH”

A carbonated synthetic funk groove serves as a fine foundation for Matthew Healy to vent his romantic and/or sexual frustrations while sounding not unlike Phil Collins. Listen below.

Healy also shared a letter about “UGH” in comic form, which you can check out below:

The 1975’s new album I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it is out 2/26 on Dirty Hit/Interscope. Pre-order it here.
