Biffy Clyro have spoken out about progress on their upcoming new album, revealing that the LP is currently sounding 'very danceable'.
The award-winning Scottish rockers took to the stage this weekend to headline the legendary Isle Of Wight Festival, alongside Kings Of Leon and Red Hot Chili Peppers. While there, they took the time to speak to The Daily Star about what to expect from album No.7.
"It's early days, but a couple of new songs we're recording are sounding very danceable," said drummer Ben Johnston. "We're thinking of shaking up the way we write - all of us coming up with ideas on our computers and swapping them around. It'll be the first time we've really used computers to write."

But fear not, rock fans - the record will also feature that heavier sound that you're already used to.
"While I'm sure we'll create a few more big rock songs, it'll be good to see what new sounds we conjure up too," continued Johnston.
"We think of our albums as two different trilogies, and 'Opposites' was number six. It's time to start afresh, and some songs we've worked on are very different. Some songs are dark - they sound like black metal."
Biffy Clyro are headlining a number of European festival this summer, including Live At The Marquee in Dublin on 27 June, and T In The Park in Scotland on 11 July. For more information visit Gigwise tickets.
