After pushing back the release date of their fourth album Notes on a Conditional Form for (by my count) the fourth time, The 1975 have released another new single from the record. “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America” is a quiet collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers in which Matty Healy sings that he's "in love with a boy I know" and Bridgers sings that she's "in love with the girl next door." Almost entirely acoustic, the song would sound at home on a Bridgers solo album, though the Bon Iver-like horns that detail the back of the mix add a utopian element that was present on The 1975's last single "The Birthday Party."
Listen to “Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America” below, then read our cover stories on The 1975 and Phoebe Bridgers. Notes on a Conditional Form is now due out on May 22.
