Biffy Clyro announce surprise new project, The Myth Of The Happily Ever After

Fresh from two typically brilliant headline sets at Reading & Leeds, Biffy Clyro have announced a surprise new 'project' (which is basically an entire album): The Myth Of The Happily Ever After.

The new record is a 'reaction' to 2020's incredible A Celebration Of Endings, as well as 'a rapid emotional response to the turmoil of the past year'.

"This album is a real journey, a collision of every thought and emotion we’ve had over the past 18 months," explains frontman Simon Neil. "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?”
