A Celebration Of Endings is the ninth studio album from Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro and is available in an indie store exclusive coloured vinyl.
A Celebration Of Endings follows the band’s previous two studio albums –
Ellipsis (2016) and
Opposites (2013) – both of which went straight to number 1. 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'.
