The 1975 channel Talking Heads' 'Stop Making Sense' concert in surreal new music video for ‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)'
The band follow their acclaimed third LP 'A Brief inquiry Into Online Relationships' with a homage to the iconic Talking Heads concert-film 'Stop Making Sense'.
After unveiling their stunning new album 'A Brief inquiry Into Online Relationships' last week, The 1975 have now dropped a meta and referential new music video for one of the album's highlights, 'It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)'.
As with any music video from one of indie pop's most promising bands, the extended 7-minute clip is chock full of pop culture references and meta references. But there's something quite special about this one.
Penned by frontman Matty Healy and directed by Warren Fu, the visuals for the 80s pop-flavored track — which discusses Healy's recovery from heroin addiction — is a surreal tribute to Talking Heads’ 1984 concert film 'Stop Making Sense.'
