ALBUM REVIEW: Biffy Clyro – Futique

Warner Records

Released: 26.09.25

Futique is a feel-good, life-affirming rock masterpiece. Old blends with new through this majestic album, bursting with roaring riffs and sonic twists and turns. A Little Love is a hopeful, awe-inspiring opening track – soon to be a Biffy anthem – alongside the huge sounding Hunting Season (THAT breakdown…!), and extraordinary Dearest Amygdala.

Ben Johnston’s thundering drums jigsaw with hypnotic strings and keys, while James Johnston’s unrelenting bass is the uniting thread. Simon Neil’s lyrical storytelling skills are unparalleled. Emotion weeps through beautifully crafted sentences, demonstrated in the haunting epic Woe Is Me… Guitar and vocals are feral and raw, every melody feels like his soul laid bare. Futique fuses heavy rock with big feelings, soaked in the goodness of what makes Biffy so special, and I love them so much.
