Antidote
Playlist - 75 Songs
Antidote is home to the best new alternative music in the UK and beyond—a celebration of independence, innovation, and artists who don’t just push boundaries but reduce them to rubble. This week, Biffy Clyro top the playlist with “Hunting Season,” a fresh slice of rock from the Scottish stalwarts. “I guess we’re all being hunted, we’re all very guilty these days of judging things with minimal information, so that’s kind of the sentiment—it’s always ‘Hunting Season’ at the moment,” Biffy’s Simon Neil tells Apple Music. “Musically, it was a riff I came up with in my hall at home. I went straight in with the boys and we played it, and Ben [Johnston, drummer] was really buzzing on it right away, it started to blossom and it’s now in its final form.”
And, as Neil explains, the track has a powerful message: “Don’t feel afraid, don’t not do things because you think someone is going to judge you, but don’t be that person always judging either. Life’s tough enough as it is and we need to cut each other, and ourselves, a little slack.”
“Hunting Season” is a taste of their new album Futique, due out on September 26, which finds the band in a reflective and content period. “It’s probably the most sonically cohesive record we’ve ever made,” says Neil. “All the songs came from one small period of time, and when we got in the same room together everything bloomed at the same time. It’s got every kind of aspect of what we do as band. We played some anniversary shows last year, which was the first time we’ve reflected on the early records, and we took little flavorings from those here and there for this record. But it’s a whole new meal, with a slightly different palette!” Also on this week’s playlist are new tracks from IDLES, Fat Dog, and Hayley Williams. Like all the artists featured, Antidote is always evolving—so keep checking back, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
