ENTER SHIKARI today return with brand new single, the resolute and optimistic Higher Ground. A totally unexpected release with no prior warning, it’s their first offering of new music since their surprise album release in April.
Frontman Rou has said of the new track, “Our music has often been about zooming out. Looking at the bigger picture on things gives us perspective, clarity, and often a strange calm in today’s relentless and difficult times.
HIGHER GROUND is about just how pivotal taking the broad perspective is. Whether in our personal lives or when looking at the biggest problems that humanity faces, we often gain clarity and see connections that were previously hidden when we find time to zoom out. The track was written during the recording sessions for Lose Your Self but felt like its own entity so was parked and finished off slowly over spring and summer this year.”
The band recently announced that they will play two intimate shows later this month as a warm up to their November arena tour. These shows will also be the first since they announced their indefinite hiatus.
ENTER SHIKARI are gearing up for their biggest UK and EU headline arena tour, in November. The EU dates kick off on 3rd November at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, and include the band’s biggest ever German headline show.
They will then begin the UK leg of the tour in Nottingham at the Motorpoint Arena on 13th November. They will be joined by Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys as support for both the EU and UK leg.
