Biffy Clyro closing out the inaugural TRNSMT Festival (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Biffy Clyro have started the ball rolling towards the release of their eighth studio album with the unveiling of a new single entitled Instant History.
“This time around we wanted to lead with something that was the most out there thing which we’ve got on the record,” Simon Neil says. “Instant History is the biggest, most slammest pop moment we’ve ever worked on.”
“It’s a fantastic opening statement, although musically it doesn’t reflect the album’s direction. But thematically it’s a good pointer for what the album is about: learning from mistakes and realising how you can move things forward. Things can be similar although they’ll never be the same, but let’s not be scared of that.”
Biffy have been working with Foo Fighters, Muse and Killers cohort Rich Costey on their follow-up to 2016’s Ellipsis and plan on putting it out later this year.
