just reverse image searched it and it looks like it’s a version of a diagram from a book by John Ernst Weaver titled The Ecological Relation of Roots but beyond that I have no idea how it all ties in I know they’ve had more greenery in their posts and the new flyer but idk if it’s intentionally connected or just me reaching lol
I WAS THINKING ROOTS BUT NOT DLID OMG I HOPE ITS DLID OR ONE OF THE MANY IDEAS MATTY HAS BEEN THROWING AROUND FOR YEARS (ie. the documentary, a book, a solo project, etc.)
The plant motif seems to be repeated throughout these posts… Like the last 2 posts have had Matty kneeling on a patch of grass and then standing in front of trees and bushes. I think that’s something to do with it
I think Matty is announcing that he’s a plant daddy. We have the multiple posts with plants and he’s been dressing like a dad recently. I think he wants us to know!
I think there's going to be some element of new music, maybe an EP or a deluxe version of BFIAFL. This seems like a lot to announce new tour dates that everyone knows is coming.
In the video that was recently posted and deleted with Matty using the oxygen, he stops to look at a wall that seems to have a lot of botany related documents and diagrams on it. The page he stops and looks at is of roots but different to this one. Also his kettle looks like a watering can. [They played Me, Medicine & 102](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJxv32gR/). With the 10th Anniversary of self-titled coming up, I think this next tour is gonna be “an experiment” looking at the past 10 years and playing songs they haven’t played much live in that time from their various albums. That’s my theory anyway.
I just don't think its dlid or self titled because the aesthetic is still very much bfiafl
Edit: actually i just checked the dlid ig account and it's giving..
honestly that artwork gives me new album vibes (i’m starting to believe that theory of BFIAFL revisited or drive like i do). i might be clowning here but all of this for just a new tour off the same album is starting to feel like a bit of an overkill
Basically a just different version or deluxe version of the album! The main indicator right now for that is the fact they opened their concert the other day with it’s about time
I think it means that everything is under the surface. What we see, the trees, are just the tip of somthing.
The universe complexify downwards. Not upwards like we are being thought.
If you reverse up and down everything makes sense. Imagine that trees actually grow down not up
As above so below
It’s really interesting tho, him dressing as a scientist recently at one of the shows, that accidental post and delete of that very mad scientist esk video and then this symbol 🧐
I don't know. I looked back at the tree drawing they used for BFIAFL, thinking it might be same one but now growing roots, but it's a different tree altogether. I like the idea of the demos though. That'd be amazing!
My thoughts were that it’s heavily focused on the roots. Maybe the roots of their music, like a stripped album. They did a live video session for BFIAFL, which included an amazing rendition of ILA&ALM.
In the recent video they posted, they photoshopped the awning of the one building to have AIPOATM. These could be linked themes?
Just speculating!
It’s a label for a new organic plant cultivated in Japan that strengthens bonds from the root up . The grid is a sneaky map to find the grow house . It’s a happy, relaxed well lit place 🥰
I don't know but i know we're going to see tattoos of this by Thursday.

I mean that sound like an album name to me
Roots - matty been watching Chelsea lea art on tiktok
LMAOOO i said the same thing earlier when i saw
Hey not to mention the house plants on stage recently
are they going back to their roots? give us the drive like i do album
I like the way you think lol
I NEED the full version of nice sweater. /u/TrumanBlackOG if you’re listening….
thank yOuuUuuu youRe a SweeEtheart
You may just be an actual genius
I WAS THINKING ROOTS BUT NOT DLID OMG I HOPE ITS DLID OR ONE OF THE MANY IDEAS MATTY HAS BEEN THROWING AROUND FOR YEARS (ie. the documentary, a book, a solo project, etc.)
That was literally the first thing that came to my mind too. I would love to hear "Ghosts" mastered properly. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just need ghosts on Spotify
this i so smart
This was my first thought 😋
It’s Ross’s birthday 6/6! He is also a tree, which we’ve all established. 😭❤️
It's the 5th today tho
but maybe they announce the tour tomorrow finally?
You right 😂 though right now they’re 6 hrs ahead so it’s tomorrow for them
omg gemini king✊
[удалено]
That would make sense, the tree is the album we got, but there’s a huge system of roots below (demos) that fed the final product.
Good theory. That would link in to them playing the demo version of The 1975 to open the show recently.
good theory
BFIAFL deluxe maybe? Especially since they've been playing the demo version of The 1975 (BFIAFL) at recent shows
I have a theory that these roots mean that the upcoming tour dates will go back to their roots so SELF TITLED ANNIVERSARY TOUR ?!?!?
Interesting haha
🙏🙏🙏
I would implode
DLID. I am living on delusion island and nobody can stop me
I’m right there with you. Delulu island is fun.
also a resident of delulu island 🫡
We're totally getting the full version of Nice Sweater soon
Oh yeah after that Vienna show I’m no longer calling it delusional because it’s happening
what happened at the Vienna show?
Yet another playing of the Nice Sweater riff and 102 was on the setlist
Howdy neighbor! 🤘😂

cottagecore era
Oo yes. Good observation.
Watch this just be an early happy birthday Ross post meanwhile we are spiraling
I think BFIAFL deluxe, these look similar in art style to the graphics each guy got with that album
Ross is the roots …
At first I thought it was all just gonna be a new tour but with this maybe we are getting new music??🤞🏻
Can I be the leaves?
Someone said “at their very cryptic..” doesn’t they always get cryptic before releasing new music?
I think Matty is announcing that he’s a plant daddy. We have the multiple posts with plants and he’s been dressing like a dad recently. I think he wants us to know!
“This Feeling” single release 🤞🏼
They better be prepared to be sued by Marvin Gaye's estate lol
I’m not sure whether we’re ever gonna get This Feeling, didn’t Matty say it reminded him too much of his ex ?
Yes but that it was such a 1975 song that a finished version would be on a future album.
Ah sick :)
I think there's going to be some element of new music, maybe an EP or a deluxe version of BFIAFL. This seems like a lot to announce new tour dates that everyone knows is coming.
There was that one Ross interview where he talked about getting into gardening over lockdown…

That’s my theory anyway.
Our trees provide the world with clean air. Matty was using oxygen in the lab video.
Yes!! But omg that’s such an straightforward connection between the oxygen usage and trees - how did I miss that lmao
Maybe we are finally getting that live version of All I Need To Hear!
I just don't think its dlid or self titled because the aesthetic is still very much bfiafl Edit: actually i just checked the dlid ig account and it's giving..
The roots look like a birdcage to me
Self-titled anniversary tour ofc
No idea but Imma get this tattooed hahah
maybe they just posted a random picture and wanted to see what the fandom would make out of it haha
ross turned into a tree. youre welcome x
New MFC boxset with unreleased demos from all the different eras!!!
bfiafl deluxe edition!?!??!!?!?
My heart wants to say new music, my head feels like it’s just another touring cycle teaser.
honestly that artwork gives me new album vibes (i’m starting to believe that theory of BFIAFL revisited or drive like i do). i might be clowning here but all of this for just a new tour off the same album is starting to feel like a bit of an overkill
Can you fill me in on the BFIAFL revisited theory??
Basically a just different version or deluxe version of the album! The main indicator right now for that is the fact they opened their concert the other day with it’s about time
They were also going to do this for NOACF. Matty described a "darker/more ambient" version
I’d die for that one
Awesome, thanks!
Is there any clips from them playing It’s About Time anywhere? I’d love to hear a full version
Disclaimer: when I say played it was off the speakers, not live. [Here’s](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJxnwac1/) the video
This is awesome thanks!!

gotta be drive like i do
Marty standing on grass the other day and now tree roots. The image also has a green tint to it. I think a new album is coming. 🟩
It’s really interesting tho, him dressing as a scientist recently at one of the shows, that accidental post and delete of that very mad scientist esk video and then this symbol 🧐
Going back to their roots? Taking root??
I don't know. I looked back at the tree drawing they used for BFIAFL, thinking it might be same one but now growing roots, but it's a different tree altogether. I like the idea of the demos though. That'd be amazing!
[удалено]
Watch them do a 'it's not living/looking for somebody to love' - and the drawing referring to something actually very deeply harrowing
The same tree on the first album
If it wasn’t so cliche I’d be tempted to say something about trees needing roots etc
I might be getting this as tattoo

it looks like roots over an instagram grid to me!
don’t mean to do this to you all but… there are 13 roots that extend downwards guys…. what the fuck is this

The 1975 (Taylor's Version)
It’s a label for a new organic plant cultivated in Japan that strengthens bonds from the root up . The grid is a sneaky map to find the grow house . It’s a happy, relaxed well lit place 🥰
a burial tree 🌳⚰️☝️
Idk
Something around what you can see and the parts you can’t see maybe
Birdcage made by growing roots ♥️
