Guessing this is essentially a leftovers album from the last one (or ‘sister album’ as they’ve put it) but the new song is pretty good by modern Biffy standards so I’ll give it a cursory listen regardless.

The official release line is: 

The new full length album from the incredible, high-octane alt-rockers Biffy Clyro, rapidly following on from their excellent 2020 album A Celebration Of Endings.

Biffy Clyro will release the surprise new project ‘The Myth of the Happily Ever After’ on October 22nd. The record is a homegrown project that represents a reaction to their #1 album ‘A Celebration of Endings’ and a rapid emotional response to the turmoil of the past year. It is the ying to the yang of ‘A Celebration’, the other-side-of-a-coin, a before-and-after comparison: their early optimism of 2020 having been brought back to earth with a resounding thud. It’s the product of a strange and cruel time in our lives, but one that ultimately reinvigorated Biffy Clyro.

“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?”

So I imagine you're right. They've done it before with other albums.

Two more from the sad lads. Heard half of the album now which I’d usually be annoyed about except these songs have all been so damn gorgeous and somewhat surprisingly fantastic that I’m more stoked than ever to hear the rest in a couple of weeks:

 

feel like this release is being slept on when really its seemingly gonna be a top quality sufjan album, singles sound better than the ascension so far imo

New Snail Mail album Valentine out November 5. Loved her last one so pretty stoked for this one.

This is excellent news. Was a huge fan of the Habit EP and saw her a few times and she was amazing. I loved the album as well but I felt like she was everywhere at that time and there was a bit of a backlash??  She was also touring so much and the last time I saw her she seemed very disengaged and it was a lot worse than when I saw her the first few times.  I hope the break has been good for her and the band!

Yeah I feel like she was getting a lot of the flack that Phoebe Bridgers seems to be getting now in that she was just inescapable. Do think there’s a bit of thinly veiled sexism in that though - how dare these females promote themselves ey!

Think I may have actually decided against seeing her after seeing a lot of stuff about her getting progressively worse throughout the last tour and her seeming absolutely fucked. Label must’ve really been pushing her to tour and make waves.

I don't think it's even thinly veiled. Being a fan of many a female artist the shit they have to put up with online is ridiculous. Self Esteem posts about it on a regular basis. Even so called fan of these artists really feel it's ok for them to try and police their behaviour. When The Staves released tired as fuck there was so many male fans telling them they were nice girls with beautiful voices and there was no need for them to use such crass language. 

I even saw someone told Angela Barnes the comedian not to speak so loudly thankfully she told them to fuck off and then fuck off some more.
