Futique is the tenth[note 1] studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Biffy Clyro. It was produced by Jonathan Gilmore and was released on 19 September 2025. The title is a portmanteau of "future" and "antique", which vocalist and guitarist Simon Neil described as "an exploration of ideas, objects or relationships that exist across time".[1]
The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and reached the top 10 in Austria and Germany.
