Radiohead have continued sharing a series of intriguing images for five days, despite the fact they released their album, A Moon Shaped Pool, last weekend. We wonder what they're up too, and what it could all mean.

Originally two paintings appeared on the homepage of their website. And, after Radiohead deleted everything off their social media accounts, they posted brief teaser videos on Instagram prior to the release of 'Burn the Witch' and 'Daydreaming'.

They also recently posted the first in a series of artist-created vignettes inspired by their new album. But, now they have continued to post mysterious artwork, one of the latest including a bewildering caption, "you are lost".

What does it all mean? Best case scenario, more material - though another album or EP seem highly implausable. New tour dates, to make up for the fact the Roundhouse shows were sold out in seconds? Again, unlikely.

Worst case scenario - it means absolutely nothing, and is simply the band toying with our extreme focus on their social media, seemingly a more likely conclusion. Though, as one reddit user pointed out, it could also help put-together the order in which singles are released from 'A Moon Shaped Pool'.

Either way, it certainly adds to the already perplexing mythos of Radiohead - the engimatic band, and its equally peculiar fans. Last week, fans were video'd eating pictures of Thom Yorke's face as punishment after getting the release date wrong.

However, our favourite response to the new album was the 8-year-old who hilariously reviewed the album.

Take a look at all the artwork below, and see what you think:

An unapologetic lover of everything from UKG to garage rock, to anything indie or emo-orientated; Ben has been making up for lost time by going to just about any festival or gig he can sneak into since graduating from University. Having cut his teeth writing for forward-thinking publications like 1883 Magazine, The 405, Gigwise, Public Pressure, and Haptic World he has relished writing on music culture's most ridiculous, asinine qualities to its stratospheric heights. He can be found @Benjaminabutler where he'll be spouting nonsense on anything from the state of modern house music, to the UK festival scene and pop-punk bands or how bar tokens are the worst thing that has happened to live events, ever.
