Straight out of the blocks for 2015, Enter Shikari unveil ‘Anaesthetist’, the latest track to be released from their forthcoming album ‘The Mindsweep’ (out January 19th 2015), and one of the most fan-anticipated new pieces of music from the St Alban’s quartet since it’s UK live debut at Reading / Leeds and on their main stage stint on Warped Tour in the USA last summer.
‘Anaesthetist’ is unashamed in its attack on those who would dismantle our NHS in the name of corporate greed and Tory economic ideology.
Vocalist / lyricist Rou Reynolds had this to say on the subject: “We seem to have reached a stage of such capitalistic fervour, that we believe it acceptable to punish people for ill health. By charging for healthcare we act as if illness is nothing but one’s own problem, but what is the purpose and advantage of ‘civilisation' if it is not helping the most vulnerable within society?
The lottery of birth can offer us a wealth of bad luck when it comes to our health and the safety nets are being pulled in as the desire to boost profit overtakes the desire to help people.”
‘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’. Pre-orders for the album are available now from www.entershikari.com, including a pair of rather lavish super-limited-edition formats and exclusive coloured vinyl available only via the band’s own webstore.
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.
