    Enter Shikari Release New Track, “The Void Stares Back” Featuring WARGASM

    Enter Shikari have returned with their triumphant new single, “The Void Stares Back” featuring WARGASM today. Arriving more than two years after their previous album, Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, the new song finds Enter Shikari doing what they do best: expanding on their sound yet again in a way that is equally exciting and weird.

    “The Void Stares Back” spins a startling pop sensibility into a haymaker chorus, that erupts to champion acceptance, community, belonging and the power of progress. It’s about staking your claim, being who you are, searching for like-minds and ushering out the antiquated views of old. Of the song, vocalist and keyboardist, Rou Reynolds said, “It is with elation, and more than a little nervousness, that we release this; our first track after over two years of dormancy. It is a roisterous journey made all the more so with the addition of our friends Wargasm. Thematically, the piece is about the forward march of social progress, and how, often, those with a more conventional archaic outlook on sexuality, gender, social design, economics etc, see those with differing ideas like bewildering, depraved creatures from another dimension.”

    Wargasm added, “Shikari were a big part of our growing up, so it was an absolute honour to be asked to collaborate with such an incredible and well-spoken band. They stand for the right things – we’re a little more pessimistic. It was fun playing the darker devil’s advocate to Rou’s light…where we’re going, you won’t need eyes to see…”

    The song is released in the wake of several large live music returns. The band headlined last summer’s Download Pilot Festival and sold out a fourth show at London’s Alexandra Palace as part of an album tour victory lap. The band plays the mainstage at this month’s Reading & Leeds Festivals.
