A Celebration of Endings CD + Vinyl – Biffy Clyro

Description

Available with Vinyl records London. New Vinyl Records Biffy Clyro Biffy Clyro can announce that their eagerly anticipated new album ‘A Celebration of Endings’ will be released on 15 May. The band’s approach to opus eight was simple. Keep things fresh and maintain the wideeyed wonder of what they do. Surprise themselves and each other. Push things to their furthest extremes. Theirfirst 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 Queenstyle vocal harmonies, before ‘The Ch&’ 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 lightersintheair 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 Popstyle 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. Tracklisting1. North Of No South2. The Ch&3. Weird Leisure4.
