Enter Shikari have released a new single, Hoodwinker.
The track was premiered last night on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show. It's the first new material to emerge from the band since 2015's 'The Mindsweep'. In a statement about the song, frontman Rou Reynolds said:
"Every now and then, outside of album releases and their attendant “campaigns”, it's nice to release a song into the wild, out-of-the-blue. To bowl it full force at the faces of the general public without prior warning.
Hoodwinker is the current incoming projectile.
It is Enter Shikari angrily calling out your God as an imposter. Which I'm afraid he is. I know you thought all the others were imposters and yours was in fact the real one, but I'm afraid he is a phoney too.
We have clear evidence of false paperwork and forged documents.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Please enjoy this piece of angry music though. I hope its frustration and righteous indignation will go some way to dampening the annoying news.”

Enter Shikari will also release a new live album next month. ‘Live at Alexandra Palace’ is due to arrive on November 4 via Ambush Reality/Play It Again Sam and marks the sixth release of their ‘Bootleg Series’. The record will feature the band's full set from their February 2016 show at the venue.
Following a run of Japanese and Australian dates in September, as well as an appearance at Knotfest in mid-October, the band will join Bring Me The Horizon at London's O2 Arena this Halloween.
