Ellipsis is the seventh studio album by Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro, released on July 8, 2016. The album marked a notable shift in the band's sound, embracing a more polished, experimental, and mainstream approach compared to their earlier work, while still retaining the anthemic energy and emotional depth that had defined their previous albums.

Produced by Rich Costey, known for his work with artists like Muse and Foo Fighters, Ellipsis blends elements of alternative rock, electronic music, and progressive rock. The album reflects a more accessible and radio-friendly sound, but still retains the band's distinctive style—catchy hooks, intricate musicianship, and emotionally charged lyrics. The album also showcases a leaner, more refined production compared to the more sprawling sound of their earlier records, incorporating cleaner arrangements and a broader use of electronic textures.

Lyrically, Ellipsis explores a wide range of personal and introspective themes, including the complexities of relationships, self-reflection, the effects of fame, and existential questioning. The album’s title, Ellipsis, suggests a sense of continuation or something unfinished, hinting at the band’s ongoing journey and the themes of uncertainty and open-endedness throughout the album.
