With the surprise album Lose Your Self almost a week old, Enter Shikari have released the official video for the single Find Out The Hard Way. Filmed in South London by Jasper Visuals, the track premiered on YouTube last night.
The track was met with much love last night. “Love how this band can make any genre they set their mind to,” one comment read, “but have never changed what they preach. The world needs their message.”
Tickets for the band’s unmissable intimate album release shows completely sold out in a matter of seconds yesterday, proving that Enter Shikari’s impressive backing is still growing.
“Not enough love from the national media,” another comment read. “A proper British band working their socks off, they should be broadcast from the rooftops.”
The Dubin show this month is also sold out, and tickets for their November tour are selling fast.
As Rou said earlier, the aim is to give people the chance to hear an Enter Shikari record like never before, as a cohesive whole.
“We want people to go on a proper journey with this album,” he said, “and see where it takes them. No lead up, no singles, and no explanation. Forcing the listener to actually listen, without being drip-fed ideas out of context, or spoon-fed explanations. We simply present it all, for the listener to immerse themself in.”
With a UK Mid-Week Chart placing of Number 13, MetalTalk are expecting that this week sees a further charge up the table, as this refreshing way of releasing music is a pleasing change from the waterfall-based norm.
“We got the No.1 album on our last record,” Rou said. “This is simply about the music being presented in a natural way.
“Despite turning out to be one of our darkest and heaviest albums to date, it also preaches hope and offers answers. Shikari will always offer hope because, without hope, there is no action. We’ll just always offer it with a dose of realism.”
