Wolves of Winter专辑介绍
Biffy Clyro have just unveiled the details of their forthcoming album, ‘Elipsis’, due July 8, and a brand new single, ‘Wolves Of Winter’, which will be played in full on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show tonight from 7pm. Frontman Simon Neil tells us about the track.
The title, ‘Wolves Of Winter’, is a David Attenborough reference
Simon Neil: “It comes from a documentary of his about these wolves who live on a patch of land, and whoever comes onto it, they’re basically fair game. It’s an attack song: it’s me saying, ‘Don’t fuck with what we do’ and sticking the fingers up to the people who said our band wouldn’t last very long. I’m quite a negative person generally, although it’s not normally a motivator for me, but there’s definitely a few songs on this record directed towards people who’ve let us down, ripped us off, or fucked us over.”
They can’t wait to play it live
Simon Neil: “‘It was one of the first songs we played in the room together, and right away it felt fucking brilliant. You can have a song that you’re sure is perfect, like a golden egg in your mind, then when you go into the studio, it falls flat. But as soon as we recorded ‘Wolves of Winter’ with Rich [Costey, producer] and got it where we wanted it, we were like, ‘This song has to open the record.’ And it’s probably going to open our sets for the next two and a half years! For me, it’s a song that sounds like the start of a Biffy show: you can imagine everyone screaming along, going absolutely fucking mental. And that’s how all Biffy shows should be.”
