ENTER SHIKARI Surprise Release Album "LOSE YOUR SELF"!!

With zero announcements or teasers from the band, Enter Shikari have today surprise released their brand new album! "Lose Your Self" (released via So Recordings) spans 12 tracks exploring themes of desolation, futility and complete despair at the state of the world, but with glimmers of hopefulness and optimism threaded throughout. Whilst the likes of major pop stars including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber who have famously released albums out of the blue over the years, Enter Shikari have managed to not only release "Lose Your Self" digitally, but also physically, unlike their predecessors. As of right now (from midnight on Friday 10th April), this accomplished and ingenious body of work is available to stream and also buy in CD and vinyl format worldwide. Listen below or here.

Frontman Rou articulates, "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 themself 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.

Despite turning out to be one 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.”

During their remarkable and celebrated career, Enter Shikari have received several accolades in the form of gongs from NME, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Heavy Music Awards and more. They have played a whopping 3000+ live shows around the world including three headline arena tours in the UK, supported the likes of The Prodigy and Linkin Park and played festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Download and Slam Dunk where they also headlined in 2023.
