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.
