The 1975 | Dirty Hit
The universally acclaimed fifth studio album from The 1975 is energetic and intriguing. Although short in length, the English pop rock band outdo themselves on Being Funny in a Foreign Language. As always, their upbeat, catchy hooks are present, time and time again, but their cutting and sincere lyrics are the true highlight. The bands straight-forward approach is exhilarating, refreshing and leaves you craving more.
