‘Slipshod’ is, kind of, NOT taken from the forthcoming album 'The Mindsweep’. It is, instead, an iTunes exclusive bonus track and, therefore, to use the twisted logic that exists within the walls of Shikari HQ, ideal for spending money on making a video for.
So...contact was made with Mr Peter MacAdams of Vancouver, Canada, formerly an animator on legendary gross-out cartoon series Ren & Stimpy (a long-time favourite of the band). The results speak for themselves.
‘The Mindsweep’ will be released in the UK on January 19th 2015 and comes almost exactly three years to the day after the release of the band’s last full-length album, ‘A Flash Flood Of Colour’. Enter Shikari have but one show left in 2014. Its one of their now legendary Christmas Party shows, and also features supports from two of the most exciting young rock bands in Britain today, Nottingham’s Baby Godzilla and Yorkshire’s Allusondrugs.
The band will also DJ at the show’s afterparty til 3am under their alter-ego guise of the Shikari Sound System. The event takes place this Wednesday at Liverpool’s Camp & Furnace venue, and the remaining few tickets are available from the band’s website.
2015 will be a year of touring in support of ‘The Mindsweep’, with UK & European shows already announced and with many shows already sold out. The band have also announced two high-profile UK festival headline slots.. the first of which sees them headlining the Second Stage at Download Festival in June, and then headlining Somerset’s Nass Festival in July.
