Biffy Clyro - That Golden Rule

Stonking bass-lines and the grizzly, slightly paranoid vocal push of Simon Neil shakes you to the spot with the first few notes of new Biffy Clyro single, 'That Golden Rule'.

Then the realisation of the continuing freshness of these rustic Scotch rockers kicks in swiftly, before the vocals take on a more lucid toe and the instrumental grip loosens, exposing feelings of frailty and desperation in love

"IIII want to scream, one last death maybe?" Sings Neil. "IIII am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion... Secrets are the truth, they are the truth."

A slightly symphonic, rustling percussion-led outro builds up briskly in profile allowing for an adventurous end, whilst the song still remains grounded on an old-fashioned rock footing. Biffy Clyro continue to be a breath of fresh air in the domain of British rock.
