Biffy Clyro are planning to trim down any excess on their next album after throwing the kitchen sink at their 2013 double LP ‘Opposites‘.
Speaking to Q Magazine, frontman Simon Neil also revealed that recording is going well and they have as many as 20 new songs close to completion.
“We’ve probably got 20 songs that are about 80 per cent finished,” he said. “It’s sounding really rocking at the moment. I think it’s important to put some more rules and limitations on what we do because on the last few records we ran with whatever ideas we had.”
“So on this one, when I say stripped back it’s not going to sound skeletal or anything but perhaps a bit more aggressive. Coming off the back of a double album, it’s important to be really concise so we might only have ten songs.”
Biffy Clyro are though expected to take most of this year off, but Neil should still release music via the new side project ZZC.
