Scottish power rock trio Biffy Clyro have announced details of their seventh album, Ellipsis, and the first single, Wolves of Winter, is available now.

The album, the band's seventh, is due out on July 8 and is the follow-up to 2013’s critically-acclaimed 2013 double album Opposites.

As has become tradition, writing sessions for the new album saw Biffy Clyro - Simon Neil (vocals/guitar) and the Johnston brothers, James (bass) and Ben (drums) - working in the intimate environment of their practice room.

They then headed to Los Angeles for recording sessions with producer Rich Costey, who has previously worked with Muse, My Chemical Romance, and Sigur Ros.

Citing influences as diverse as Tears For Fears’ ambitious 1985 album Songs From The Big Chair, DJ Arca and Deafheaven,

Biffy frontman Simon Neil has described Ellipsis as "more of a punch to the nose than a big cuddle.”
