By the Numbers
Notes on a Conditional Form keeps the band's full-credit base, all four members on most of its twenty-two tracks, but layers in the widest cast of co-writers yet. Greta Thunberg is credited on the spoken-word opener, No Rome and Hiroshi Sato appear on 'Tonight (I Wish I Was Your Boy),' Christopher Cross on 'Bagsy Not in Net,' and Tim Healy on 'Don't Worry,' while Jonathan Gilmore co-produces several cuts. The credits here read like a sprawling collaboration log rather than a clean four-way split.
Notes on a Conditional Form is the fourth studio album by The 1975, released in May 2020 on Dirty Hit. The companion to A Brief Inquiry and the final part of the Music for Cars era, it is the band's longest and most eclectic record, stretching across twenty-two tracks of pop, ambient, drum and bass, emo, country, and orchestral pieces. Production sits with George Daniel and Matty Healy, with most songs credited to the full band and several adding co-writers, from Greta Thunberg on the opening track to No Rome and Jonathan Gilmore elsewhere. Led by singles 'People,' 'Frail State of Mind,' and 'If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know),' it topped the UK chart and is certified gold there.
