Recent months have seen Biffy Clyro deliver all of those attention-grabbing moments that come with their status as one of the UK’s biggest rock bands. From storming Glastonbury and Radio 1’s Big Weekend to headlining TRNSMT, the trio have kickstarted a new era with two Radio 1 A-listed singles. Everything leads up to today’s release of their new album, Futique. Listen HERE.
Futique is a word for those beautiful, sad and fleeting moments that only become significant in hindsight. It’s an idea that complements revisiting your roots to reassess the future, and that is something that the trio have channelled throughout the record. The record’s atmosphere is as if they have stepped back to their early days as grunge-loving teenagers with big dreams, and applied it to the accomplishment and daring spirit that personified their catalogue from Only Revolutions to A Celebration of Endings. What emerges is a record in which Biffy Clyro’s greatest strengths loom large: towering choruses, searing vulnerability, explosive dynamics, and a love of some unexpected sonic curveballs.
