The 1975 is gearing up for the release of their upcoming album "Being Funny In A Foreign Language" as it is scheduled to drop in a few weeks. To hype fans, even more, the Manchester-based band performed their two recent singles live.

According to NME, the British group recently stopped over on "Later... with Jools Holland" to perform "Happiness" and "I'm In Love With You."

Frontman Matty Healy and his bandmates Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann, and George Daniel, wore matching suits as the lights were dimmed for their intimate performance.

The band first performed "Happiness," a song that initially didn't have much structure, but they continued working on it during one of the jamming sessions they haven't done in a long time.

Speaking to Apple Music 1's Zane Lowe, Healy said they want the song to be a "captured moment" and not be too constructed for it not to sound "overproduced."

The 33-year-old frontman shared a fun fact about the track, saying it was completed within a day as they were having fun recording it in the studio.

For their second performance, they played "I'm In Love With You," an upbeat love song, and Healy brought out his acoustic guitar to jive throughout the track.

In early reports, the follow up to "Notes On A Conditional Form" will be available for purchase and streaming starting October 14 via Dirty Hit.

The group has already released four singles that are part of the album: "Part Of The Band," "Happiness," "I'm In Love With You," and "All I Need To Hear."

"I want people to feel like they're in a little theatre as opposed to an IMAX," he told Rolling Stone UK.
