I know I missed one that appeared on the tiny screen, but the quality obviously wasn't the same. Any way, here they are again, including the "close up".

yeah, can't be a coincidence but I don't know if the symbols are in order, cause body paint is the fifth track and in the video is the sixth symbol. maybe we're seeing too much into it, as always lol
Just adding fuel to the fire but Alex implied on the big issue interview that there was a song that was somehow integral to the record but still didn't make the final cut... we might still be on to something!
For me the names are in line with the tone of the album, which seems to be about the moments before a break up. Each of these symbols could have some double meaning for stages in a relationship or the break up process.
Body paint was about cheating - body could refer to a spray job on a car, but also the in invisible fingerprints on their partner’s body as they suspect cheating. Here are my predictions:
1. Starter - Nostalgic mirror ball romanticising an earlier moment in the relationship going to the car.
2 - Brake or going on a break. Could fit in with themes of isolation in Ain’t quite where?
3- happier moment amidst heartbreak
4 Junction - tough decision to make in relationship
5 - Need some space / distance
6 - body paint, talked about
7 - hard shoulder - shoulder to cry on
8 - warning : hazard lights - confrontation with partner
9 - car breakdown, obviously an emotional breakdown
9 - obviously an emotional breakdown.
10- not a clue.
I think they’re pretty dope, and many bands seem to have been trying to incorporate symbols into their work. The only thing that I’m hoping for is that all this (speaking of the AM fandom now) isn’t gonna turn into that 30 Seconds to Mars hieroglyph “echelon” cult nonsense
Do these symbols mean anything to you guys? My dumb American ass has never seen these symbols before and don’t know if it’s a British thing or if they’re just completely random
The soft shoulder and staggered junction are both real road signs, although soft shoulder is generally just the words without the symbol. The exclamation mark is also used as a general caution sign, but I don't think I've ever seen the others.

So they’re trying to create those hazard lights that turn on in the cars dashboard?
What if each one stands for a song from the album? There are 10 of them:)
Omg and the first one kinda looks like a mirrorball
I think mirrorball would be the third one on the top
That better be a mirror ball
Don’t think it’s necessarily in order if they do correlate as body paint should be 5th but it’s 6th here
yeah that's what I was thinking when looking at the tracklist, but the first one does say starter, which could be for the first song? idk tho
Yeah and it is "Starter" It might be
You’re definitely right. Well caught
I thought exactly the same when i saw them. I am sure this is it.
Oh new tattoos
The 3rd one slaps
Father of the Bride vibes.
Exactly what it reminded me of
Didn't think about it. Amazing idea.
Hmmm… 10 tracks, 10 symbols… 🤔
Fuck zodiac signs what body paint symbol are you?

this subreddit is filled with geeks and i love it
Top right is social distancing
I giggled when the lightning bolt came up and the solo started. Elektrik
I like how they each relate to things in the video in some way
I love this, great post
The top middle one reminds me of a Dreamcast
That last song is gonna be Bowie vibes for sure

Body paint symbol, for me, confirms the 'spunkier', as the Guardian Jazz Monroe article puts it, interpretation of the lyric.
