British rock band Enter Shikari revealed a new music video for their energetic single, “Redshift”. After nearly a year since the launch of their fourth UK Top 10 album The Mindsweep, the band has returned with their iconic fusion of sub-genres.
The video, infused with cosmic visuals and interstellar musings, was directed by Mike Tyler, who produced the electro-metal rockers’ videos for “Anaesthetist” and “Torn Apart”. Vocalist Rou Reynolds explains the inspiration and meaning behind the surprise single:
Redshift is a song about bloody good luck! 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 are preparing for their most ambitious UK tour. Their largest production to date features quadrophonic sound and support fromThe Wonder Years and freshly-reformed The King Blues.
The Mindsweep, preluded by the experimental track “The Last Garrison”, won Independent Album Of The Year at the 2015 AIM Awards and was championed by Rock Sound as “the aural equivalent of thousand-strong march through the capital.” After unleashing a spring tour across the US in 2015, Enter Shikari unveiled a song and animated video for “Slipshod”, a bonus track that follows The Mindsweep.
