The 1975 released their debut, chart-topping album in September 2013, but the band are already hard at work on the follow-up, even if it won't be released until 2015.

The band have revealed plans to follow up their self-titled debut, with an EP scheduled for 2014 and a second full lenghth planned for late 2015, which frontman Matt Healy reveals could sound remarkably different to their 2013 release, and already has a tentative release date.

"We've already recorded seven or eight songs for the next album already, so we'll just keep doing that for another year and then January 2015, we're going to go into the studio," said Matt, in an interview with Gigwise. "I think there might be an EP at the end of 2014. Round about this time next year. We want the next album to come out two years to the day after the first one."

"We've had a lot to do this year, and there have been times when i've not had the environment to write in the way I used to. I never used to write just on an acoustic guitar, but I found myself doing that. There's a couple of songs that are really, really personal and acoustic, but there's a lot of r&b, eighties-inspired pop music on there.

"It sounds a bit like Bobby Brown at the moment, Alexander O'Neal. That sort of thing."
