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.

Conor Oberst is the cult, much-loved singer-songwriter behind Bright Eyes, and also a prolific collaborator: see also Desaparecidos and Better Oblivion Community Centre (with Phoebe Bridgers). To legions of ardent fans, the Nebraskan sage is, simply, one of the best songwriters ever. In this podcast, Oberst and Healy discuss the roots of emo, the return of emo, ageing, influences and mortality. Read the full transcripts on TheFace.com.

Want to hear more of these? We also have podcasts featuring Matty talking to Stevie Nicks, Bobby Gillespie, Steve Reich, Mike Kinsella, Kim Gordon and Brian Eno.
