Straight off their phenomenal Reading and Leeds festival headline sets last weekend the band have announced a surprise new project ‘The Myth of the Happily Ever After’ which is set to be released 22nd October.
The project is reaction to their #1 album ‘A Celebration of Endings’ along with the emotional reposes to the turmoil of the past year. The track reflects the emotion and journey of the last eighteen months.
Check out recently released track ‘Unknown Male 01’ below –
“This is a reaction to ‘A Celebration of Endings’,” says vocalist / guitarist Simon Neil. “This album is a real journey, a collision of every thought and emotion we’ve had over the past eighteen months. There was a real fortitude in ‘A Celebration’ but in this record we’re embracing the vulnerabilities of being a band and being a human in this twisted era of our lives. Even the title is the polar opposite. It’s asking, do we create these narratives in our own minds to give us some security when none of us know what’s waiting for us at the end of the day?”
The lockdown grounded everyone and inspired many bands to express them selves in ways they haven’t before.
Biffy Clyro recorded ‘The Myth’ in a completely different way to how they approached ‘A Celebrations’. Rather than spending months in Los Angeles, they traded one West Coast for another by recording for just six weeks in their rehearsal room (converted DIY style into a fully functional studio by rhythm section brothers James and Ben Johnston) in a farmhouse closer to their homes.

The album will be released on CD and digital formats, as well as a limited edition red vinyl which is packaged with a must-have bonus CD for fans: full audio of the acclaimed livestream show that Biffy Clyro performed at Glasgow Barrowland in August 2020 to commemorate the release of ‘A Celebration of Endings’.
