Frontman Simon Neil’s Insights on Futique

In a recent interview with Kerrang!, Biffy Clyro’s frontman, Simon Neil, shared his hopes for what fans will take away from Futique. He emphasized the importance of human connection in today’s challenging world.

"In this tough fucking time, there’s so much shit in the world that sometimes you just need to hug everyone near you closer. We need to give people around us more benefit of the doubt… Everything starts with your home and how you feel amongst your people," Neil expressed.

He elaborated on the album’s theme, stating:

"This album is about me and the boys remembering what we mean to each other, and what we would miss if this band ended is each other. It’s not the glamorous side of it or the money; it’s the experience we have together."

Neil hopes that a few songs from Futique will encourage listeners to connect with their loved ones, saying, "If a couple of songs on this album make people turn to their buddies or their loved ones and give them a cuddle, that’s what I want."

Conclusion

Biffy Clyro’s upcoming acoustic shows promise to deliver a heartfelt and intimate experience for fans, coinciding with the release of their new album, Futique.
