Biffy Clyro have revealed that the name of their forthcoming album is 'Opposites'.

Biffy Clyro are stirring. The band played a handful of festival sets this summer, including a headline slot at Scotland's RockNess.

Allowing new material to drift into their set, Biffy Clyro teased fans with details of a new album. Seemingly a double LP affair, the Scottish band dropped past Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show last night to chat about it.

Speaking to the New Zealand host, Biffy Clyro explained that the upcoming release will be titled 'Opposites'.

As a bonus, Biffy Clyro also played album cut 'Stingin' Belle'. Equipped with bagpipes, the track immediately caused a stir with fans. Speaking to Zane Lowe (via NME), frontman Simon Neil said: "It was one of the first songs that really clicked when we were recording it... it represents the record... It shows how over-the-top the record is... it might be our last really over the top record."

Elsewhere, the singer mused on the process behind the album. "It's a strange situation when you're revealing what you've been working on for the past couple of years – it doesn't get any easier, but it's still exciting... we're definitely a bit nervous but we're very excited."

Biffy Clyro are expected to release their new album 'Opposites' later this year. The band have confirmed a one off London show as part of the iTunes festival:

September
22 London Roundhouse
