Hertfordshire’s favourite sky-scraping alternative rocking haranguers, Enter Shikari plucks another throttling percussion heavy led, moody incendiary of release, emboldening the impact of breathtaking their 2nd album, ‘Common Dreads’.
The mood tossing single ‘No Sleep Tonight’, harnesses adroitly the controlled desperation of the vocal plug of Rou Reynolds. They manipulate the overhanging threat of insomnia, adopting it as a weapon to fire home the growing potency of their fertile sound.
Digital toeing and vocal grizzle creates a chilling build up to an orbiting release, a bit like a wolf’s howl on appearing out of the woods into an open desert. Enter Shikari continues to breath freshness into the ranging rock sector in a way that questions the doomsayers. Who sit in their smokey holes, telling anyone and everyone who’ll listen or read that this aspect of music has been getting progressively staler for the last few years.
Most importantly, you get the impression that these feral flight rockers are just skimming the surface at the moment!
