Video: Biffy Clyro – The Captain
The Captain’ their new single from the album ‘Only Revolutions’ (out November 9th)
Biffy Clyro – That Golden Rule
Stonking bass-lines, the loose, grizzly and slightly paranoid vocal push of Simon Neil shakes you to the spot with the first few notes of tetchily delving single, ‘That Golden Rule’. Then the realization of the continuing freshness of these rustic, searching Scotch rockers kicks in swiftly. Before the vocals take on a more lucid toe and the instrumental grip loosens, exposing feelings of frailty and desperation in love;
“IIII want to scream, one last death maybe?
IIII am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion….
Secrets are the truth, they are the truth. ”
A slightly symphonic, rustling percussion led outro builds up briskly in profile allowing for an adventurous end, whilst ‘the song still remains grounded on an old fashioned rock footing. Biffy Clyro continue to be a breath of fresh air in the domain of British rock.
Biffy Clyro – That Golden Rule
The first single to be taken from Biffy Clyro’s forthcoming new album – released 23rd August 2009.
