Have you ever dreamed of going to bed with The 1975's Matt Healy? Well now you can... sort of.

The frontman put together a 35-minute Bedroom Mix for BBC Radio 1, which aired last night on Phil Taggart's show.

The mix included 'She's Gone' by Hall & Oates, which Healy described on Twitter as "the ultimate break up song", 'Blue Order New Monday' by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, 'One Fine Day' by The Chiffons', and 'Don't Smoke In Bed'.

Healy also spoke to Phil Taggart about the increased pressure around the band's forthcoming second album. "When you're making your first record," he explained, "we just wrote it as teenagers growing up and it was kind of done for fun, and you're removed from any kind of fear of criticism and judgement."

He continued, "So it is a different thing, thinking, 'Is this going to be good enough? Am I saying the right things?' We just want to be as expressive as possible, man. That's really all there is."
