With zero announcements or teasers, Enter Shikari have just dropped their brand new album ‘Lose Your Self,’ the follow-up to 2023’s ‘A Kiss for the Whole World’ via So Recordings. The album is available to stream and also buy in CD and vinyl format worldwide.
Vocalist and frontman Rou Reynolds shared about the new record: “We’re delighted to present ‘Lose Your Self’ and give people the chance to hear a Shikari record like never before – as a cohesive whole. We want people to go on a proper journey with this album, 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 themselves in. Releasing in this way was also a decision to not be distracted by chart races, or accolades and “things”. We got the No.1 album on our last record. This is simply about the music being presented in a natural way.”
Rou also adds: “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.”
