BIFFY CLYRO
LP
A Celebration of Endings
SKY BLUE VINYL
Limited Edition
INDIES ONLY
Biffy Clyro releases new album A Celebration of
Endings. It follows the band’s previous two studio
albums – Ellipsis (2016) and Opposites (2013) – both
of which went straight to number 1. The band’s
approach to opus eight was simple. Keep things
fresh and maintain the wide-eyed wonder of what
they do. Surprise themselves and each other. Push
things to their furthest extremes. Their first building
block in embracing the new was to turn to an old
friend. In came Rich Costey, producer of Ellipsis.
Sonically, Biffy Clyro playfully push the outer
reaches of their sound to the extreme – often in the
case of the same song. Opening track North of No
South hits hard before finding the space for the
Johnston brothers to unleash some soaring Queen-
style vocal harmonies, before The Champ throws
piano, cinematic strings (conducted by Bruce
Springsteen collaborator Rob Mathes at Abbey
Road) and Biffy’s prototyped jagged rhythms into
the mix without ever losing any of its sleekness.
Other songs are far more direct. Tiny Indoor
Fireworks is the best direct rock anthem they’ve
ever written, somehow snappy, melodic and light on
its feet while feeling so natural you could imagine it
was conceived in minutes. Meanwhile, Space is a
natural successor from previous lighters-in-the-air
highlights Many of Horror and Rearrange. It’s a
sincere message of reconciliation for someone you
love, and Biffy’s most tender, unguarded moment
from the sweet spot of their catalogue.
How can you conclude an album of such esoteric
diversity? Biffy launch headfirst into Cop Syrup.
There’s the rush of The Vertigo of Bliss, a detour
into Sub Pop-style grunge and manic shrieks which
wouldn’t sound out of place on a Liturgy record. But
then it contorts again, first into ethereal
orchestration and then with a final burst of violence.
It’s an ending to celebrate.
