Are Enter Shikari gearing up for a new era?

Exciting news! Enter Shikari are up to… something.

The St Albans kings have wiped their social media channels, with blank profile photos, headers and absolutely no signs of life at all – which as we all know in this day and age generally means there’s a whole new chapter on the way.

This time last year, we had Rou Reynolds on the Kerrang! In Conversation podcast, and asked him where they were at when it comes to the follow-up to 2023’s A Kiss For The Whole World album.

The frontman said that the band were hitting the studio for the first few months of 2025, but also admitted that, “We’re still not sure how we’re gonna do it. It’s tempting to not even really do a record or to hold a record back and just release songs for a while. Having achieved the UK Number One on the last album, it’s a bit like, I just don’t want all the rigmarole of that again. We’ve got that. We can tick that box now. Let’s just move on and go back to releasing music in kind of a fun, interesting way.”

Rou also confirmed, “We’re working on a lot of tracks at the moment in varying degrees of completion. I think, more than anything, I’m trying to concentrate on not streamlining the process, but cutting the anxiety out of the process. I suppose it’s like a classic thing of when you achieve some form of success, however you define success, loss aversion kicks in, and you’re a bit like, ‘Oh, this is even more important now?’

“…The music’s coming and it’s fun and we’re really excited about it,” he added.
