Recently speaking to Kerrang! about what he hopes fans will take
away from Futique, frontman Simon Neil said that in “this tough fucking time, there’s so much shit in the world that
sometimes you just need to hug everyone near you closer. We need to give people
around us more benefit of the doubt, that’s when I think we can be less judge-y
of people. All we can rely on is our own personal relationships. There’s so
much shit outside of our control we wish we could shake and change, but
everything starts with your home and how you feel amongst your people.
“This album is about me and the boys remembering
what we mean to each other, and what we would miss if this band ended is each
other. It’s not the glamorous side of it or the money, it’s the experience we
have together. If a couple of songs on this album make people turn to their
buddies or their loved ones and give them a cuddle, that’s what I want. It’s
not a naive optimistic thing, I’m being honest about relationships on this
album, but that’s all we have. We’ve got human connection and that’s what we need
now more than ever. So hug your fucking loved ones and listen to Biffy fucking
Clyro.”
