Enter Shikari have dropped an official music video for their new song “Find Out The Hard Way…“. This Jasper Visuals-directed clip comes from the alternative rock band’s brand new album “Lose Your Self“. The group surprise released that eighth studio outing last Friday, April 10th. Speaking of their decision to unload that entire body music at once, vocalist Rou Reynolds stated:
“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”.”
