Biffy Clyro 'Instant History' by Sophia + Robert

Promonews - 25th Feb 2020

Biffy Clyro return with a carny-esque video for Instant History, directed with characteristic pizzazz by Sophia + Robert.

Combining the band's muscular and quirky nature, the directing duo demonstrate their style works as well in rock as it does in pop. They manage to achieve a grand scale in a studio setting, aided by a cast of interesting characters - a carnival of likeminded souls - with a highly creative use of art direction and styling, and of course the directors' own intense editing style.
