The 1975 discuss progress on second album

The 1975's Matthew Healy and George Daniel have said they are looking forward to finding time to record their "conceptual" second album.

Speaking at this years Bushmills festival, taking place at the Belfast distillery, the pair discussed how they were struggling to find time to record the follow up to last year's debut. Having just flown from Ibiza to Belfast, they described how their incredibly hectic the band's touring schedule is, including dates in Mallorca, America, Poland, Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight. It is this schedule, they say, that is holding up the recording of new material. 

"We''re just so busy," says Matthew Healy. "So crazy busy and just making so much music for ourselves and other people and our next record. We're enjoying it -  we're just exhausted".

"The new record it's very much in the works, we're not talking about it yet because we want it to be as coherent as the first record, we want it to be conceptual but not kind of naff. I think that we don't know enough about it yet, even though we've been writing so much, we don't know what's going to make it on the record and what's not.

"We're just gonna take it easy and not talk about our second record until we've finished this first one, but it's going to be good I promise you that."

"I think it's quite nice talking about it because it means it'll be happening some time soon," George Daniels adds. 

"You like to convince yourself that we're going to have time to make a new record?" says Healy.

"I still don't think we will..." says Daniels.
