IV was released on May 20th 2013 and is the last of the four EPs to be released before the band’s debut album, The 1975. A re-recorded version of The City is featured on this EP & the EP version of The City can be found on the Facedown EP.
This is what Matty had to say about IV during an interview with interview magazine:
KAPLAN: Your next EP is titled IV; is it supposed to represent the number “4” or “intravenous?”
HEALY: It is. It’s “IV,” but we wanted to have the two words represent “intravenous.” It seemed like an apt title. I don’t know. I think I have an obsession with love, drugs, and the balance between the two: the consequential dynamic of trying to have a relationship because of it. It definitely alludes to that."
