deconstruct

The album attempts to recreate that feeling with a series of abstract, futuristic soundscapes and deconstructed club tracks.

There’s a breathless monologue in which Mason deconstructs the art of baseball as “the perfect metaphor for hope in a democratic society.”

It deconstructs the artifice of a rock show, making The 1975 seem more human - but equally, it deflates the excitement of watching a band in full flow.

Performance attire now includes sneakers, typographic T-shirts, deconstructed bottoms and even denims.

But it’s trying to deconstruct what we all think of each other.
