The 1975 Celebrate a Decade of 'I Like It When You Sleep...' with Vinyl Reissue

Fans of The 1975, get ready to celebrate! The band has announced a special 10th-anniversary vinyl reissue of their iconic album, 'I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it.'

This Mancunian rock quartet's sophomore effort, originally released in 2016, spawned major hits like 'Love Me', 'UGH!', 'Somebody Else', and 'The Sound'. The 80s-inspired record even topped NME's Albums of the Year list.

The reissue is set to arrive on February 27th via Dirty Hit. Pre-orders are available here.

What can fans expect? A limited-edition pink vinyl housed in a six-panel triple gatefold package.

But that's not all! The reissue will also feature alternative artwork on the cover, along with 17 12” x 12” art cards showcasing lyrics from every song on the album's reverse side.

When NME crowned ‘I like it when you sleep…’ as their top album of the year, they described it as "a fascinating reflection of their frontman Matt Healy’s outsized, often contrarian, personality: egomaniacal but introverted, populist but unapologetically pretentious, insecure but hungry for attention."

Healy himself told NME that he wanted the record "to feel very cinematic and it is almost the length of a film".

“We got to the point where we were told it wouldn’t fit on a CD if we carried on,” he added. “It was just this really exciting creative bender, and the more ridiculous it got, the more subversive it got."

He went on to proclaim: “But there’s f**k all wrong with the album. Nothing. It’s perfect for me. I could spend another two years on it and maybe make it three per cent better.”

In other news, The 1975 are reportedly working on not one, but two new albums! These records would follow up their critically-acclaimed 'Being Funny In A Foreign Language', which dropped in 2022.

The band seemingly teased the name of one album at their Glastonbury headline set last year, with the word ‘DOGS’ flashing briefly at the end of their show.

Manager Jamie Oborne has also hinted that The 1975’s new record would be “pretty extraordinary,” adding that he has a “constant discourse about it” with the band.
