Enter Shikari surprised fans by revealing a new track, ‘Redshift’, via BBC Radio 1 last night. It marks twelve months since the release of their top 10 album, ‘The Mindsweep’.
“‘Redshift’ is a song about bloody good luck,” vocalist Rou Reynolds explains. “On the grandest of scales! Literally! Our universe is expanding faster and faster and a few trillion years from now, everything will have sped away from us so fast that all we would see when looking out from Earth is empty space. We would deduce that we were totally alone in the universe. A lost sheep. The last and only biscuit in the tin.”
Enter Shikari will be appearing at a number of huge venues across the UK next month, joined by The Wonder Years, who we recently proclaimed as the creators of our favourite album of 2015.
