The Myth of The Happily Ever After (2 CD)

The Myth of the Happily Ever After



A Journey Through Turmoil and Self-Discovery

Biffy Clyro's latest project,

The Myth of the Happily Ever After

, is a deeply personal and emotive response to the turmoil of the past year. This new album is a departure from their usual sound, embracing vulnerability and uncertainty as a human band and individuals. It's a story of resilience and growth, born from the darkness of lockdown and the introspection that came with it.

A Sonic Reaction to A Celebration of Endings

This album is the antithesis of their previous work,

A Celebration of Endings

. While the former celebrated optimism and hope,

The Myth of the Happily Ever After

is a reaction to the turmoil and uncertainty that has plagued our world. Biffy Clyro's fifth studio album is a reflection of the vulnerable state of being human, stripped of the illusion of control and control.

Recording in the Heart of Scotland

For the first time in their career, Biffy Clyro recorded their album within a 10-mile radius of their hometown. The rustic farmhouse studio became a sanctuary for the band to tap into the raw emotions of the past year. This uncharted territory proved to be a catalyst for creative growth, as they dove into a realm of self-discovery and experimentation.

, which showcase the band's signature energy and passion.
