Bobby Gillespie and Matty Healy in conversation

As part of The 1975’s takeover of The Face, we’ve released a series of podcasts featuring frontman Matty Healy in conversation with his musical heroes. Bobby Gillespie is the frontman of Primal Scream and the former drummer with The Jesus and Mary Chain. After growing tired of being a straight-up indie band – and, frankly, with nothing left to lose – in 1989 the Scotsman enlisted the help of DJ/producer Andrew Weatherall. The result was the groundbreaking blend of psychedelia, dub, funk and acid house that is the Scream’s classic 1991 album Screamadelica. In the years since, Gillespie’s restless rock’n’roll spirit has continued to explore multiple genres – and, like Healy after him, he’s pushed the boundaries of how a bunch of guys in a band can sound. In this podcast, Gillespie and Healy debate the current state of rock music, authenticity in music and art, and the legacy and legend of the mighty Weatherall. Want to hear more of these? We also have podcasts featuring Matty talking to Stevie Nicks, Conor Oberst, Steve Reich, Mike Kinsella, Kim Gordon and Brian Eno.
