Enter Shikari Announce New Album 'The Mindsweep' & UK Tour

Enter Shikari have announced details of their new album ‘The Mindsweep’ and an accompanying UK tour. YES!

Recorded with Dan Weller at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire this spring, the hyper-eclectic four piece will unleash ‘The Mindsweep’ on Monday 19th January 2015 – almost three years to the day since their last record ‘A Flash Flood of Colour’.

Reflecting on the record, frontman Rou Reynolds said: “We pushed ourselves vocally with some of the rawest angriest vocals we've ever done as well as some of the most dulcet and delicate.

“It's even more diverse than normal as we've built more confidence and fearlessness to widen our influences further.

Melody and aggression will always be an important side of what we do, but with this album there was also a concerted effort to concentrate on texture too.

Alongside the core of our guitar, bass, drums, electronics set-up, there's so much new instrumentation and orchestration.

Writing for and recording woodwind, brass and strings was so rewarding and really felt like it brought a new dimension to the music. Just can't wait to play these songs live now!”

The eye-catching artwork looks like this:
