Marmite four piece, The 1975, are just one of many bands and musicians contributing original material to the Radio 1 curated rescore of the film Drive. Given its very 80's, synth-driven existing soundtrack, it was pretty clear that the Wilmslow quartet would be reverting back to that ambient, electronic sound explored within the string of EPs they released in the run up to their debut album.
'Medicine' possesses the ethereal side to the band's repertoire, demonstrated on earlier tracks like 'Facedown' and 'fallingforyou;' which is certainly a welcome dose of nostalgia given the bombardment of rhythmic indie pop tunes found on their debut (which seem to appeal mostly to the masses of One Direction fans the band have acquired along with their rapid success rate anyway).
With repetitive love infused lyrics and a haunting combination of atmospheric synth and soft percussion, The 1975 have succeeded in delivering a track perfect for the Drive soundtrack. Not only this but 'Medicine' may have even restored the faith of some of their oldest fans; this is certainly the case with me, anyway.
