Last week, The 1975 dropped the new video for latest single “People.” Written the day the abortion bill was circulating in Alabama and with lyrics addressing the increasingly terrifying global climate crisis, “People” is unsurprisingly angry – both sonically and visually.

For the song’s music video, we see the hypercharged band perform as we are bombarded by manic graphics in the background. This visual overload comes courtesy of Jon Emmony and Aaron Jablonski of Exit Simulation who masterminded the art and AR filters that we see.

“Each AR filter makes reference to different aspects of surveillance systems,” says Dazed Beauty creative consultant Ben Ditto who directed the video alongside Matty Healy and Warren Fu. “One with glowing yellow data points, one that features scans of the other band members faces flickering in a ghostly way and one that moves the performerʼs eyes and mouth to different locations to evade recognition.” Each filter will be released on the band’s Instagram account so you can recreate the full looks yourself.

With his pale skin, red-stained lips and grungy long black hair in the video, frontman Matty Healy is a modern-day Marilyn Manson. Here the beauty team – Yusuke Morioka on hair, Anne Sophie Costa on make-up and Sylvie MacMillan on nails, with styling by Patricia Villirillo – talk us through their looks.
