ENTER Shikari is kicking off 2015 with a tour.
They will travel across the UK next month, following on from the release of new album The Mindsweep which was out on Monday 19 January.
Of the album, vocalist 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.” Catch Enter Shikari at the Barrowlands in Glasgow on Saturday 21 February.
