Biffy Clyro are back, and they're bringing a much-needed dose of optimism with their new single, 'A Little Love'. This track marks their first fresh material since the expansive 'A Celebration of Endings' and its companion 'The Myth Of The Happily Ever After', and it's clear the Scottish trio are ready for their next evolution. Having already thrilled a massive crowd at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and earning the coveted Hottest Record slot, 'A Little Love' is poised to be a summer staple.
This isn't just any Biffy song; it's the band at their most resplendent. Think vibrant synth flourishes, hefty basslines, and an undeniable rhythmic drive that hallmarks their signature blend of raw power and melodic finesse. But it’s the chorus that truly elevates 'A Little Love', a sky-scraping hook that burrows into your brain from the very first listen. Lyrically, it’s a poignant exploration of love in its myriad forms, touching on that universal truth: sometimes, you don't fully appreciate what you have until it’s gone.
The enduring bond between Simon Neil, James Johnston, and Ben Johnston is palpable throughout. This isn't a new phenomenon for Biffy Clyro; they’ve been a unit since their teenage years, evolving from grunge enthusiasts with grand aspirations into one of alternative rock’s most formidable acts. Their journey has defied expectations, culminating in three UK #1 albums, countless arena tours, and headline slots at major festivals like Reading & Leeds and Glastonbury. It’s a testament to their unwavering collective spirit, beautifully mirrored in the track's accompanying visual.
Directed by Piers Dennis and choreographed by the acclaimed Steven Hoggett, the video for 'A Little Love' uses the powerful imagery of interconnected body movement to symbolise the band's deep-rooted reliance and durability. Inspired by Marina Abramović’s 'Relation In Time', it's a visual metaphor for the synergy that has propelled them to such heights.
For those who love a tangible piece of music history, 'A Little Love' is also available on a limited edition 7” vinyl, complete with a unique etching on the B-side. With a packed summer schedule including Glastonbury, a homecoming at TRNSMT, and two nights at Eden Sessions, Biffy Clyro are clearly gearing up for an exhilarating new chapter, and we're eagerly anticipating what musical gems they'll unveil next.
