Enter Shikari release suprise album Lose Your Self

Enter Shikari have released surprise album Lose Your Self, via So Recordings.

The four-piece English band not only digitally released their latest record Lose Your Self, without announcements or teasers, but also physically, with fans being able to purchase the LP in CD and vinyl format worldwide.

"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," said frontman Rou Reynolds. "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.

"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 rock band have also announced a run of intimate album release shows, which include a sold-out show at Dublin's Academy on Tuesday, April 21, where the group will be supported by Dublin band girlfriend.
