Earlier this year, when The 1975 first disappeared from social media, we put together an 'everything we can work out' guide as to what was going on with the band. A nerdy deep dive, when we did it we expected the absence to be short - maybe a day, perhaps a week, certainly not months.

Turns out, it was 107 days. Shows what we know.

Today, though, The 1975 returned. Given the date - 1st June is an important marker in the mythology of the band - we should have expected it. With that came a whole bunch of new information and cryptic teasing, so we're back at it again.

Yes, Dear Reader. It's that time again. Pop detective hats on. Here’s everything we can work out about what’s going on with The 1975. Again.

Earlier this morning, the band's website underwent a big change. Switching to a photo of a very long Matty Healy (more on that later), it had a new colour scheme - a lovely shade of purpley-blue - and a newsletter sign up form promising "album 5 news first".

Alongside all the aesthetics was a Dirty Hit catalogue number, DH01242. That's a code given by record labels to signify a product – be it vinyl, CD, cassette, or sometimes for more creative institutions merch, shows, posters or other miscellanea. It's one that's been appearing a whole load over recent months. Featuring on the previous version of the band's website, it's been posted places before. Months ago, Matty posted something to Instagram featuring it, and it’s also previously featured in his bio on the platform.
