Biffy Clyro to release new album this year

Biffy Clyro have revealed plans to release a double album this summer.

The band explained that they have made 30 demos and intend to record the new collection of material in April after choosing the best tracks.

Talking to Q magazine, frontman Simon Neil said: "We're going to make a double album, so the intention is to do most of the recording in LA and then do more of it elsewhere.

"We'll hopefully get it done by April, May and go out and play some shows. The album might come out before summer but it's likely to be just after that."

Responding to the claim that a double album is "very Guns N' Roses", Neil added: "Absolutely. The working titles are Use Your Illusion III and Use Your Illusion IV.

"We're going over the top as we can. It's an album about a fork in the road and how your decisions can take you on one path or the other.

"One path is the right decisions and one path is the wrong decisions - and each album's going to represent each path."

Biffy Clyro were recently confirmed to play this year's Isle Of Wight Festival in June.
