The good ship Biffy Clyro is setting sail once more, and how. After the bagpiped-up teaser track ‘Stingin’ Belle’, we’ve had the reveal of the artwork for their forthcoming double album ‘Opposites’. This week, the announcement of a bloody arena tour and the debut of another new track ‘Sounds Like Balloons’ confirm that this will not just be the first big release of 2013, but likely one of the biggest full stop. Those in the know have always suspected this moment would come for the boys from the Biff – they were beloved of the underground since 2012. But the way they’ve twisted the mainstream to their own surrealist shape, and Simon Neil has emerged as one of the UK’s most emotive songwriters has still been breathtaking to watch. It’s a long way from their scrappy beginnings, but if all goes to plan, ‘Opposites’ should be the record that sends them the way of Muse. So as we begin that countdown properly, we take a look back over the struggle so far.
