Biffy Clyro have shed some light on the sonic nature of their new album during an interview with DIY, describing it as ‘Deafheaven meets Tears For Fears meets Death Grips‘.
“My main aim of this record is that I want to make a record that sounds like Deafheaven meets Tears for Fears meets Death Grips,” frontman Simon Neil said. “I don’t know if we’ll get anywhere near it, but that’s the three touchstones of songwriting and sonic architecture that I want us to try and go for.”
Biffy Clyro have spent most of this year on the sidelines, undertaking a bit of well earned R&R after the long campaign behind 2013’s ‘Opposites‘, but will be back in time to celebrate the new year with Idlewild and Honeyblood at Edinburgh’s Hogmanay.
Various festival appearances are also being lined up for 2016, including visits to Germany’s Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park events in June.
