"I don't know how we've ended up here. I still feel that we're a brand new band," Neil explains. "We take that challenge very seriously to still be completely inspired in each album and not just, 'it's not just time for new Biffy music.' It's time for brilliant Biffy music, you know, that's the aim."
"I hope this album feels like a big warm hug," he adds. "Some of our albums have been more like kind of fight music. This one's just in this era we're in, we're in such a kind of unusual time for humanity, things are changing so much."
"It feels like time to take stock and try and cherish the things that we can at the moment because things are changing and evolving so fast. We're not sure what's going to be the same in 5 years, and I just really want to be as present as possible. So the album's about being present with your loved ones, and with music, and just trying to experience life."
