A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships marks the first crack in the band's four-way split. Most songs still credit all four members, but the writing starts pulling toward the Healy-Daniel core: 'TooTimeTooTimeTooTime' is credited only to Daniel, Healy, and No Rome, dropping Hann and MacDonald, while 'I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)' adds Jonathan Gilmore as a producer. It is the album where named outside collaborators first enter the credits in earnest.
A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships is the third studio album by The 1975, released in November 2018 on Dirty Hit. A concept record about life mediated through screens, it ranges from jazz and gospel to UK garage, ambient, and acoustic balladry, all produced by George Daniel and Matty Healy. Most tracks are credited to all four members, with a handful adding co-writers, including No Rome on 'TooTimeTooTimeTooTime.' Singles 'Love It If We Made It,' 'Give Yourself a Try,' and 'It's Not Living (If It's Not with You)' drew wide critical acclaim, and the album won the Brit Award for Album of the Year. It topped the UK chart and is certified platinum there.
