BIFFY CLYRO

LP

Balance Not Symmetry 

(Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Grief is the central theme to Jamie Adams’ film, Balance Not 

Symmetry. Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil found a connection with

 the director and the film’s theme. This led to a certain amount of

 introspection in the emotionally charged soundtrack. The 

Scottish alt-rockers also find time for their usual

 stadium-ready anthems and a little experimentation.

Regarding the collaboration, Simon Neil explains “On meeting Jamie

 (the director), we realised early on that we’d both had to deal with 

grief at a relatively young age and so it was interesting to talk about

 how we’d both dealt with it and the effect it had on us – and this is 

the main crux of the film, delving into the lonely world

 of grief and loss and coming out the other side.”

The 17-song ‘Balance, Not Symmetry’ explodes into life with the title

 track, which tightly packages Biffy’s angular rhythms with the kind of 

sky-bound hook that they’ve established as a hallmark of their sound. 

The track is accompanied by an official video. Also directed by 

Adams, it intercuts the band’s visceral live performance 

with footage from the film.

While the collection often explores Biffy’s gift for arena-filling 

anthems on the likes of ‘All Singing and All Dancing’, ‘Tunnel 

and Trees’ and ‘Touch’, the album as a whole leans towards

 introspection and experimentation. The foreboding yet elegiac

 ‘Gates Of Heaven’ is quite unlike anything that the band have

recorded before, ‘Colour Wheel’ switches to a more ethereal 

ambience and ‘Touch’ echoes the emotional power of previous

 Biffy classics such as ‘Many Of Horror’ and ‘Re-arrange’.

The album also includes three mood-setting instrumentals 

(‘Pink’, ‘Navy Blue’ and ‘Yellow’) plus a studio recording of 

‘Different Kind of Love’, which originally featured on last year’s

 ‘MTV Unplugged’ album. It was co-produced by Adam Noble and

 Biffy Clyro, and recorded at AIRStudios, 

Monnow Valley Studio and ICP Studios.
