Enter Shikari Surprise Release New Album ‘Lose Your Self’

Enter Shikari have surprise released their eighth studio album, ‘Lose Your Self’, via SO Recordings.

The band dropped the record without any prior announcement, issuing it digitally, on CD, and vinyl simultaneously, giving fans immediate access across all formats at once.

Vocalist Rou Reynolds explained the decision to keep the release completely secret, emphasizing the band’s desire for listeners to experience the album as a full, uninterrupted journey rather than a staggered rollout.

“We’re delighted to present ‘Lose Your Self’, and give people the chance to hear a Shikari record like never before – as a cohesive whole. We want people to go on a proper journey with this album, and see where it takes them.

No lead up, no singles, and no explanation. Forcing the listener to actually listen, without being drip-fed ideas out of context, or spoon-fed explanations. We simply present it all, for the listener to immerse themself in.

Releasing in this way was also a decision to not be distracted by chart races, or accolades and ‘things’.

We got the No.1 album on our last record. This is simply about the music being presented in a natural way.

Despite turning out to be one of our darkest and heaviest albums to date, it also preaches hope and offers answers.

Shikari will always offer hope, because without hope there is no action. We’ll just always offer it with a dose of realism.”

The album, ‘Lose Your Self’, is available now in full via digital platforms, CD, and vinyl through entershikari.os.fan.
