The 1975 - I Think There's Something You Should Know
‘I Think There’s Something You Should Know’ from The 1975’s new album, ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’. Out now - the1975.lnk.to/noacf
The 1975 and Ben Ditto have curated an online exhibition of 15 artists responding to tracks from ‘NOACF’.
08 Alice Bucknell responds to ‘I Think There’s Something You Should Know’
“I wanted to play around with this idea of the secret, as referenced by the title, and the feeling of suspense that the track produces, scaling both up to a world-making capacity,” explains artist and writer Alice Bucknell. “Some of the album’s themes include technology, anxiety and ecological destruction, and I was thinking about these within the framework of an architectural utopia. The overarching idea, or set of ideas really, framing this project was an interest in technological utopias and the inevitable failure of these ambitions.”
Her film flies us to a ringed planet on which she’s constructed 3D models of three sci-fi cities, one for each of the song’s different sections: the first is a postmodern seastead that brings to mind the Las Vegas Strip. The second, and most contemporary, is a high-tech wellness metropolis which mixes Tokyo signage, SoulCycle classes and tropical foliage; “Decked out in neon lights and synthetic palm trees,” says Bucknell, “it’s the unfortunate byproduct of some Instagram algorithm, like Blade Runner meets Miami Beach.” The third, in which ‘I Think There’s Something You Should Know’ reaches its euphoric climax, is a glowing pioneer town out in the desert. All are rendered in a neon club aesthetic that matches the track’s up-tempo house feel and crisp, spacious production.
“What drew me to this track in particular,” says Bucknell, “is the loosening of what’s perceived as truth, or reality, through the forces of fantasy and desire. That’s what led me to thinking about this planet as a sort of glitch or technological error that ultimately deletes itself at the end of the video.”
In the last few frames the planet glitches then disappears. It leaves us wondering: Were these cities just mirages? Are utopias even possible, in the real or virtual worlds, or will they always conceal a hidden darkness?

I haven’t related more to this song than now.
This song says to me, “as hard as life can get, everything will be okay.”
this song is so real it just makes me cry, but a good one. i dont want my depression to kill me and theres a lot of power in that self awareness honestly. thats what this means to me anyways.
Reminds me of Security Breach
nft gang
ok but does anyone else hear the soundtrack to Barbie Secret Agent in this song though
2:10 love that sample in the background
Me: You know what? Person: What? Me: I'd like to meet myself in smaller clothes
Sounds so different everytime i play this song, can u feel it? 🤔
The sloppy africa renomegaly scrape because tower effectively smell up a cautious dolphin. long, cruel airport
i love this song so much it just makes me feel things as if it knows what's going on with me
One of my favourite songs
itsa fuckingggg vibe!!!
❤️❤️
I’d like to meet myself and swap clothes. What a lyric that is !! 🥰
second verse bangs so much
ねるちゃんから！
クロックポットってなに？
I relate so much to this as i want to talk about my feelings, my thoughts, my mental health and my sexuality to other people but I'm either to scared to or they don't care. It's nice to here a song that talks about mental health so easily and doesn't overcomplicate it like other songs
Huh 🤔
I love this song with all my heart
matty sang this fucking beautifully and i have more profound respect for him. i relate to this 1000% 🥺 l
i dunno if anyone else feels like it but this song really portrays ptsd symptoms for me at least
this reminds me of ducklife music and I will not elaborate
💓💙💜
2:40 got me through 2020
what is he saying at 2:09
They're promoting Yungblud. Awwh
내가 첫 한국인이다 하하하하하
Can’t believe this hasn’t blown up bigger yet!Great track.
Paying for their wealth with their mental health. Phew!
This MV is a masterpiece
きこた焼きって何？？
What are these kind of funny sound effects called 3:15 onwards for example? I like songs like that (Skrux - You and Me) for example.

This video has nothing to do with this track. It’s a fucking waste, mate. This track is too good for this. But I can’t wait to see them live when this song is played. I can see a happy fucking Matty.
My friend phoned me after I’d been silent for a few weeks. The call went a little like this: 2:40 - 3:11

Reminds me of the head key from Locke & Key
YEA
Sounds like your already gone. Goodbye. Happy.
holy shit, the mind of the artist for her concept video
I heard the introduction of the i couldn't be more in love in 0:00 - 0:13
nice vid great look
that bit where Matt's likes "i think there's some place i should go" is So GOOD
why does this kinda make sense
When did it stop being about the music
❤️
Oh! Japanese words!
Bruce Hornsby wants his song back...
Thank you for existing
Anybody else think this part of their career is low key inspired by Radiohead?
i have derealisation and this song just encapsulates it in such a way. im so thankful for this band
Oh my god....this so aesthetic!!!!
I was driving listening to NOACF, and this song came on, swallowed me hole...my heart sunk, my body pulsed with the beat, and I felt one with the song and less alone. Sometimes comfort isn’t necessarily something uplifting, but just feeling understood in a time of discomfort.

I get you. I want to live in this feeling.
Mmm
Reminds me of music from earthbound
If the Twilight Realm was on The Grid
ホテル＝hotel クロックポット＝crock pot
Looks like a beach volley videogame I used to play on ps2
Yeeeeiiiii 😻😻😻😻😻
If you haven’t already you should look through the description, a good read
This new album sounds very '80 style. Here we go, The 1985!
急に日本語でびっくり
ホテルいっぱい。
The 1975 has helped me go through so much for almost 6 years now. This band means so fucking much to me
..The best in the world is Bobby Firmino
Ok i love this mv
damn i wanna live there now
listen at .75 😩
These graphics are exquisite! Very beautiful!
Me: “this is really bad CG” Me 2 minutes in: “oh i think its on purpose, i guess its good(?) then.”
2:21 - 2:36 "you get a moment when you feel alright" convincing yourself that amidst everything, there are still moments that you are okay. fuck
This video makes me feel like I’m playing the sims
Great song, familiar style but with something fresh about it.
....I don't know how to speak music
this song is written so greatly, transported me to another place for a few minutes
What is it what should i know?
Does anyone know what the background robotic voice say just before “you get a moment when you feel alright” right around 2:06 ? Really wanna know. Sounds like “I don’t wanna be someone... “ and then something which i can’t catch.

My take is “I don’t want to be someone that I don’t have to be”
birthday sonnnggg
Me after watching the video: ITS SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Is this New Donk City at night?
I feel high watching this
You didn’t search for this.....
why the hell the beginning low-key sounds like barbie fashion show background music
We were born in 1975
きこた焼
The video reminds me of surrealism memes
1975 is fucking so cringe, recycling aesthetics and just ripping any sound that’s big at the moment
i completely loveeeeee this song
So the aerial view of the town's looks exactly like a Corona virus cell I'm sure that's not intentional
