The 1975 has unveiled the stunning black and white artwork for their highly-anticipated debut album, which is set to drop on September 9th. The simplicity of the design belies the complexity of the music that lies within, with frontman Matty Healy revealing that each song on the album is a potential single or a representation of who the band are as a whole.

In an interview with NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION last year, Healy discussed the themes behind the album, stating that 'value is only part of worth and you learn that in relationships.' The line highlights the importance of authenticity in relationships, something that is echoed throughout the album's lyrics. Healy also touched on the idea that millennials are often pigeonholed as materialistic and compromising, saying 'it's definitely a statement about being a millennial... not the ones with two singles and a hash of material compromised by time and committee.'

The cover artwork itself is striking, featuring a simple yet beautiful design that promises great things from the album. With 15 tracks to look forward to, fans are sure to be blown away by the band's ambition and talent.
