Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro have posted pictures on twitter that seem to hint at them recording for their new album:

The last release we got from Biffy was in 2013 with the release of ‘Opposites’, their previous album before that was ‘Only Revolutions’ which established them as mainstream rockers with widespread critical acclaim; with the album being nominated for the prestigious Mercury Prize Award (eventually losing to The xx).

Lead singer Simon Neil had this to say on their upcoming album:

“It’s sounding really rocking at the moment,” he said. “I think it’s important to put some more rules and limitations on what we do because on the last few records we ran with whatever ideas we had. So on this one, when I say stripped back it’s not going to sound skeletal or anything but perhaps a bit more aggressive. Coming off the back of a double album, it’s important to be really concise so we might only have 10 songs.”

Having had albums released 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2013 previously, we can definitely be expecting an album either late this year (it’ll have to be very late!) or in 2016; hopefully details will be announced soon, three years is too long to go without new material from the Biff!
