It’s described as, ‘a reaction to A Celebration of Endings’, by Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil.
The experiences in lockdown since the start of 2020 are starting to drip through into most artists’ output as we hesitantly move towards the world on the other side, and Biffy Clyro are the latest to give their reaction on The Myth Of The Happily Ever After, which will be released on October 22nd.
“This album is a real journey, a collision of every thought and emotion we’ve had over the past eighteen months,” Neil says.
“There was a real fortitude in ‘A Celebration’ but in this record we’re embracing the vulnerabilities of being a band and being a human in this twisted era of our lives. Even the title is the polar opposite.”
“It’s asking, do we create these narratives in our own minds to give us some security when none of us know what’s waiting for us at the end of the day?”
