Simon Neil (vocals/guitar) and the Johnston brothers James (bass) and Ben (drums) recorded with producer Rich Costey (Muse, My Chemical Romance, Sigur Ros).
Citing influences like Tears For Fears' Songs From The Big Chair album and metal band Deafheaven, Neil has described Ellipsis as "more of a punch to the nose than a big cuddle." Lyrically, the album's songs tackle personal issues with the idea of "fighting back" as a recurring theme.
Such themes are also apparent in the album's visceral first single "Wolves of Winter." Neil says it is "about us being wolves on a patch and if you come onto that patch, we'll tear you limb from limb."
An Ellipsis (most commonly depicted as ...) indicates a continuation: in this case, Biffy Clyro's new body of work is an ongoing representation of everything that the band have stood for since first debuting in 2002 with the Blackened Sky album.
Ellipsis will be available digitally and on CD and vinyl editions.
Opposites saw Biffy Clyro flourish with their first U.K. #1 album and another U.K. Top 10 single with "Black Chandelier". The band's live shows soared to new heights with highlights including debut festival headline sets at Reading, Leeds, Radio 1's Big Weekend, Isle of Wight and T in the Park; a triumphant sold-out UK arena tour; and extensive touring across six continents.
