Biffy Clyro are struggling to find enough hours in the day as they work on two records in the wake of Ellipsis’ release in July 2016.
“We’re working on two records,” Simon Neil has told Kerrang!. “One is for a movie directed by Jamie Adams, based around the songs on an album we’re making.”
“Unfortunately, timing-wise this has impacted our ‘Ellipsis’ companion record, because there aren’t enough days in the year. The film will be named after the record and will share some dialogue and lyrics. The record will influence the film and then feed back to the music.”
“It’s an unusual way to make a record, and that’s why I’m buzzing about it – it’s a different way to feel inspired.”
Neil added that he expects the film soundtrack to be out by the end of this year, at which point their focus will entirely be on an eighth studio album.
