Enter Shikari by Tom Martin
It’s described as a ‘companion collection’ to last year’s Enter Shikari album Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible.
Enter Shikari have thrown a little surprise today with the release of a new collection of songs entitled Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption).
Unable, of course, to tour the 2020 album after it handed the band their highest UK chart position to-date, they instead undertook various home studio and acoustic sessions online, performances which have now been mastered and officially released.
“With no live shows, and no real contact with the rest of the band, it was nice to at least be able to do some remote sessions together,” Rou Reynolds recalls.
“It was also interesting to develop acoustic and alternative versions of some of the new tracks. These performances went some way to filling the gaping hole in our lives!”
“After creating an acoustic version of The Dreamer’s Hotel to play during lockdown livestreams, I began to think that this rather dulcet adaption could benefit from some orchestral parts.”
“I love composing and it was a joy to work with the Sofia Session Orchestra, who, as you’ll hear, nailed it.”
