Biffy Clyro at Aberdeen’s GE Oil and Gas Arena (Kayleigh Morrison for Live4ever)
As they look all set to have their fourth UK number one album confirmed later today, Biffy Clyro have shared a video for the Celebration Of Endings track Space.
“You don’t spend 25 years making music for a living without either collecting your share of the punches or having a strong instinct for self-preservation,” our 8/10 review of the record begins. “Biffy Clyro close their latest album with the words ‘fuck everybody’, a message deliberately left at the very frantic end of Cop Syrup.”
“It’s a song on which otherwise Simon Neil sings about redemption, and contains a middle section with three-minutes-plus of gentle woodwind and acoustic guitar, as if the trio are about to subside into melancholy, happy just to be sad. Far from it. A Celebration of Endings is meant, he’s said, to absolutely jar, to rattle our cages.”
