Biffy Clyro, the Scottish rock band known for their dynamic sound and introspective lyrics, returns with their ninth studio album, "The Myth of the Happily Ever After." Released on October 22, 2021, under Warner Records and 14th Floor Records, this album is a testament to the band's evolution and their ability to blend alternative rock, indie rock, and experimental elements into a cohesive and captivating whole.
Clocking in at just over 50 minutes, the album features 11 tracks that range from the punchy, immediate energy of "DumDum" to the more expansive and experimental sounds of "Haru Urara." Fans of Biffy Clyro will appreciate the band's signature blend of soaring melodies and intricate guitar work, while newcomers will find plenty to love in the album's diverse range of styles and moods.
"The Myth of the Happily Ever After" is a reaction to the band's previous chart-topping album, "A Celebration of Endings," and reflects a rapid emotional response to the turmoil of the times. The album's title itself is a commentary on the illusions we often cling to, and the songs delve into themes of disillusionment, resilience, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
From the haunting beauty of "Holy Water" to the driving rhythms of "Errors in the History of God," each track on "The Myth of the Happily Ever After" offers something unique, making it a rich and rewarding listen. Whether you're a long-time fan of Biffy Clyro or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
