Radiohead have cryptically erased all their Internet presence this weekend: shutting down their website, and deleting all posts on their social media pages.

The mysterious move, which was noticed by Reddit users yesterday morning, saw the band’s official site slowly disappear throughout the day (May 1). According to one poster, the page’s opacity was dropping “every 10 minutes”, until it eventually turned completely blank. 

Similarly, all the band’s official tweets and Facebook posts have been slowly deleted over the last 24 hours – leaving nothing on either site. Thom Yorke’s tweets have also all been erased, and, as of this morning, the Radiohead Google+ page has also gone blank.

This digital disappearance comes a few hours after the band sent out some unexplained flyers to UK fans on Saturday (April 30), which hinted at the imminent release of their new, privacy-themed album. “Sing the song of sixpence that goes 'Burn the witch,'” the leaflets declared, ominously. “We know where you live.”

The album is set to be the first full Radiohead release in five years, following 2011’s King Of Limbs. Sadly, at this stage, there’s been no confirmation on when it will be officially released – though band manager Brian Message hinted back in April that it could be expected in June. According to reports, he added that the record would be “like nothing you’ve ever heard.”
