What IS happening with Frank Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry live stream?

Frank Ocean has unveiled a cryptic live stream on his official website ahead of his long-awaited new album.

At the time of writing, the stream over at boysdontcry.co (working best on Safari) shows the American singer in a largely-empty warehouse with orchestral music on loop. The track then cuts out and is replaced by the sound (and image) of him cutting wood with an electric saw.

What do you think Frank Ocean is actually doing?

According to earlier reports, Lost music video director Francis Soriano claimed the stream is actually a looped video he made.

What will follow the video? We wait patiently to find out!

Ever. So. Patiently.
