Enter Shikari have released their fourth studio album ‘The Mindsweep’ almost exactly three years to the day after the release of the band’s last full-length album, ‘A Flash Flood Of Colour’. 

The 12 track album is the result of a month spent at Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire in spring 2014, once again with Dan Weller in the producer’s chair. 

‘The Mindsweep’ is described by Drowned in Sound as: “…Enter Shikari at their most inspirational and consistent and as a result, their best record yet.”

Frontman Rou Reynolds had this to say:

“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!”

Anaesthetist, the first single from'The Mindsweep' was released on 6th January 2015.
