Earlier this month, the band were thought to have split up or gone on hiatus, after posting cryptic messages on social media. However, the next day, they returned to social media to post an image of the artwork for their next album, along with a letter from the band confirming the release of a new album.
"Dear friends of The 1975," wrote frontman Matt Healy in a letter he posted to Twitter. "I/we/The 1975 are currently in production of our second full length record. It's creation signifies the end of the most inspiring and challenging time that we've had as friends and as artists. We simply couldn't of imagined connecting with as many people as we have since the release of our debut in 2013."
"We have toured the world playing over 25,000 shows in 400 different counties (that's a slight exaggeration but it was a lot) and we have had the privilege of encountering the countless faces that make up our incredibly loyal and ebulliently peculiar fanbase,” it continued. “It is that loyalty that inspired me to write this letter, scrappy as it may be. This is the beginning of a new chapter for The 1975. Our new record signified the start of a new world for us, a more colourful world... I'll see you soon with more music and dreams and you've known the title all along."
