Streaming by The 1975 Song Info
“Streaming” is an instrumental track that transitions into the next track “The Birthday Party,” both released on the band’s fourth studio album "Notes on a Conditional Form". The song contains the same elements as the next song, with sparkling piano, some orchestration, and a banjo. "'Sonically, it’s a tribute to our formative years and what we were into–Cult of Luna and Godspeed [You! Black Emperor] and Sigur Rós, all of these big ambient artists. And UK garage music. This record is like a bit of that with a bit of Midwest emo thrown in. What we love in ambient music, we call it Pinocchio-ing: It’s stuff that’s trying to sound like a real boy. Sigur Rós sounds like it’s striving to sound like a river or a landscape. All of the kind of visuals that you get with that kind of music. It really takes you back to one’s relationship with nature and texture and temperature. To be honest with you, we took quite a lot of that off. A lot of that made way for more actual songs.'" - Matty Healy, via Apple Music
