Biffy Clyro Share Beautiful Acoustic Rendition Of ‘Space’

Biffy Clyro have shared a new acoustic version of “Space.”

This new version takes the sentimental song and adds a layer of vulnerability to it. The gentle strings paired with frontman Simon Neil’s crooning vocals bring out the true beauty of the track.

Listen to the song below.

Previously, the band shared an orchestral version of “Space” recorded at London’s Abbey Road studios and arranged by Walter Mair.

Biffy Clyro’s new album, A Celebration of Endings, came out this past summer. Speaking with GENRE IS DEAD!, drummer Ben Johnston spoke about Balance, Not Symmetry’s influence on the album saying:

“We made the Balance album without any kind of interference from the record company. It wasn’t funded by them; it was funded by the movie, so they didn’t have much involvement at all. It was just the three of us. We made the record off the leash just going crazy. Any idea was a good idea and every song on that album almost sounds like a different band. I think we just found a lot of freedom in making that record and it definitely affected [us] going forward because we were more willing to trust ourselves to try out crazy things on A Celebration of Endings. I think it was important for the band.  We’re more sure of ourselves now. It helped us see the vision for A Celebration of Endings.”

Biffy Clyro have booked dates for the Fingers Crossed 2021 tour. Check out those dates here.
