The 1975 Postpone 'Notes on a Conditional Form' Release Date (Again)

The 1975 have once again postponed the release date on their album Notes on a Conditional Form, most likely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The band didn’t release a statement explaining the change but posted the new date — May 22nd — and a preorder link to their social media accounts. The announcement also included a new design for the album cover and packaging, as well as a full 22-song tracklist.

Notes on a Conditional Form has been delayed repeatedly and undergone several name changes, including Music for Cars and Drive Like You Do. When The 1975 announced their third album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, in May 2018, frontman Matt Healy explained that Music for Cars would now be an “era” containing two albums: Brief Inquiry was released in November of that year, and the second album would be released in May 2019.

However, the first song from Notes on a Conditional Form, titled “The 1975” and featuring the voice of Greta Thunberg, was not released until July 2019. A month later, the album was announced for release on February 21st, 2020. This past January, the album’s release date was delayed until April 24th and a new album cover was unveiled, only to be reverted back to the original album cover a few days later. With the announcement of the new May 22nd release date, the band appears to have once again changed the album cover.
