Biffy Clyro have been stacking up big moments lately, the kind that feel like a victory lap and a fresh start at the same time. Glastonbury, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, TRNSMT, plus a packed album launch show at HERE at Outernet all point to one thing: the band are charging into their next chapter with real purpose, and it all builds to the release of ‘Futique’.
The title says it all. ‘Futique’ is their word for those beautiful, sad, fleeting flashes that only land with full weight once you look back. That sense of memory catching up with you runs through the record, pairing a clear-eyed look at their roots with a forward push that keeps the trio sounding fearless and fully alive.
Simon Neil describes aiming for songs that scale the peak melodically, with every track reaching for something huge and heartfelt. He also speaks to a kind of personal vow behind the writing, making sure the songs feel honest enough to revisit years down the line and still recognize the person who made them.
