Another July has passed with no Frank Ocean album in sight, but he still tempts us with... something?

An Apple Music video stream appeared on the website for his, as of yet unreleased, Boys Don't Cry album around 3:00 a.m. EST. It appears above the mysterious update he cursed us with earlier this month that had everyone believing the delayed album would drop in July.

UPDATE (10:50 AM EST): Music has started playing, though it's still unclear if this from the album or just a part of the video project.

The black and white video (which, in our experience, streams better on Safari or mobile phones) shows a large, empty room with some sort of construction going on. The video seems to be titled "Endless," and white noise and woodworking tools, as well as the occasional squeak of a sneaker make up the only "music" we can hear so far.

Fans on Reddit have pieced together that the video is reportedly a loop of an art project by Francis Soriano, who originally posted on Instagram about the project but has since deleted the image. Soriano directed the music video for "Lost."

It's become ritual (far from a comforting one) to get nothing from the R&B crooner who dropped his debut channel ORANGE in July 2012.

People have been expressing their frustrations and impatience on Twitter, which has made him a trending topic.

We will update this post as soon as more information becomes available, but please Frank: We need answers, or just music, ASAP.

Until then, the wait continues with no real end in sight.
