Now this is what I’m talking about. After an underwhelming return (which was honestly still better than most), The 1975 find a familiar groove with “Happiness.”

Second such preview of Being Funny In A Foreign Language [out Oct. 14], the new cut refines the band’s signature synth-pop sound with an ear towards the contemporary. New wave fluctuations and brasswork straight out of the 80s top the highlights but it’s the destructured assembly that resonates so strongly here.

But wait, there’s more. The band has also announced a North American tour coming to a city near you this fall, fingers crossed.
