Biffy Clyro Premieres New Song “A Little Love” on BBC Radio 1
Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro, consisting of Simon Neil (vocals/guitar), James Johnston (bass) and Ben Johnston (drums), premiered a new song “A Little Love” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
The song is their first music in four years since the 2021 album “The Myth of the Happily Ever After”.
Also, the track will appear on their upcoming tenth studio album.
The band first performed the song at an intimate Glasgow warm-up gig back in May.
The track was written and produced by Biffy Clyro, with production by Jonathan Gilmore.
The accompanying music video was directed by Piers Dennis.
The band frontman Simon Neil told Jack Saunders about the song, “It's going to be you want to hug everyone you love. I mean, I guess it's like anyone that's been in relationship with someone for more than one decade. You find out a lot about each other and yourselves. And no matter how many tough situations you go through with the people that you love. If you always retain that, and it sounds a bit cheesy, a little bit happy, but if you always remember that deep connection that you have, then you can kind of conquer anything. And as the band, we've observed challenges the last few years, but when we can chunk it down to why we started this band, which is where three buddies, like that everything kind of fades into the background. So that's what the song is. It's like, I want to strangle you, but I love you so much.”- He said of the album, “I guess no big secret, but we are we've finished our new record. So this is the kind of introduction to the album. And to be honest, I spent a couple of years away making, like, some really heavy metal music with mother band, ESB. And for it, it made me fall in love with melody and songs, so much so it's probably one of the poppiest records we've ever made. By the time I'd finished touring ESB, I had like, eight or nine songs, and I was like, 'Wow, where did these come from?' But they were just joyous. And I think I'm really enjoying singing melodies again after, you know, screaming for so long. And the irony is, I can now sing slightly better after learning how to scream, how to ruin my voice before I can actually sing a little bit well.”
