Biffy Clyro – Futique CD

Biffy Clyro – Futique

The long-awaited new album "Futique", the follow-up to the double album project "Celebration of Endings" and "The Myth Of The Happily Ever After" (2020/21), will be released in September.

Frontman Simon Neil explains:
"'Futique' is a journey through thoughts, things and relationships that exist across time - we never know when we'll do something for the last time. And therein lies a certain beauty, but also a sadness. What will your 'Futique' be?"

The title is based on Simon's reflections on how our culture of remembrance has changed in the digital age. People used to carefully stick their favorite photos in an album, but today they can be called up in seconds on a smartphone as an endless stream of images.
This reflection brought back memories of people from his youth, of things he misses today - but even more exciting was the question: what will I miss in the future that is important to me today? A thought that particularly preoccupied him during the 2023 tour with his experimental metal project Empire State Bastard.
He mentally traveled back to the beginnings with his bandmates James and Ben Johnston, to bumpy Nirvana covers in the garage rehearsal room at the tender age of 15, to festival stages where the audience stretched to the horizon, and to all the little things that mean everything. Insider gags, endless conversations, silent understanding that speaks louder than any words.

Like any long-term relationship, Biffy's had its ups and downs. But they have learned to nurture what has always kept them together: a deep, unbreakable love - for each other and for music. Biffy Clyro against the rest of the world: a very personal narrative that nevertheless feels universal. Because hand on heart - in the maelstrom of everyday life, who doesn't sometimes forget how precious the here and now is?
