Biffy Clyro: “We know we can do it this time”

  • Dork News Desk
  • August 28, 2016
When you say time off, you think curling up with a hot chocolate and Netflix, probably binge watching House of Cards. When you’re Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro, it means writing three albums – the new Biffy album, a ZZC solo album, and another fourteen track Biffy album for the back pocket, just for good measure.



“As much as it was a year off from touring, we spent the whole year just trying to make music and trying to feel inspired,” he explains. “It took me a wee while to get going after touring ‘Opposites’, I didn’t really feel incredibly creative so to speak, so it took a couple of months to get going. It seems likes a quieter year than it was!”



To get going, he headed over to LA. “I’ve got a lot of friends over there and most of them are musicians, so it was nice to work with people who aren’t in bands and who write music for a different reason. That was really liberating. I wrote three songs in one day when I came home, and one of them was ‘Rearrange’. That was when I realised that the album was on track.”
