Biffy Clyro Working On 'Obscure' Material For New Album

Biffy Clyro have revealed that they have been writing 'obscure' material for their forthcoming sixth studio album.

The rockers told BBC 6 Music that their new tracks have a number of different influences including prog country and goth rock.

Speaking about recording for the new record, frontman Simon Neil said:

We've got some really obscure things going on. We've got a kind of prog country song, which we never thought we'd do, and some weird kind of math rock stuff meets almost goth rock. It's hard to explain just yet but there are moments that are odd.

He added: We're working pretty hard. We're now up to about 30 songs so maybe a double album, the dreaded 'D' word."

Biffy Clyro's last album 'Only Revolutions' was released in 2009 and nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band have yet to announce details of a release date for their as-yet-untitled new album.
