Enter Shikari, one of the biggest and most exciting bands the UK has seen, will release Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible on April 17, 2020 through SO Recordings worldwide. Today, the band shares the new video for lead single “{ The Dreamer’s Hotel }”.
Shot last month in Paris, France, the video for “{ The Dreamer’s Hotel }” was directed by visual artist Polygon (Tame Impala, Bring Me The Horizon), who also directed Enter Shikari’s previous single “Stop The Clocks”.
“We once again took a wonderful trip to Paris to record a video with our friend Polygon,” shares renowned frontman Rou Reynolds, “We built minimal hotel sets and used psychedelic analogue effects to create a space that reflects the hope but also the desolation of the song.”
Alongside the new video, Enter Shikari has also announced intimate live shows in Moscow, Russia and New York, U.S.A, as part of their run of special album launch shows in April, which includes Hamburg, Germany and Paris, France, both selling out within hours of going on sale. The New York date will go on sale at 11AM EST today and the UK dates will go on sale Wednesday March 18. See below for a complete list of upcoming tour dates.

From a band at the peak of their creative output with a unique story underlining their 13-year succession as a pioneering and uncompromising musical force, Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible is about possibility, the unnerving irony of endless possibility, the band asking themselves what they can achieve as the world questions “what is possible?”.
Produced to dazzling effect by renowned frontman and visionary Rou Reynolds, Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible is a lucid soundtrack for a new decade, with a poignant social commentary that expertly leads the listener from pure pop to scorching punk-rock fury, through four-to-the-floor beats and beautiful orchestral composition. “Waltzing Off The Face Of The Earth” (I. Crescendo) and (II. Plangevole) draws you into the madness of modern life, “you can’t trust your own eyes, and you only hear lies, our future’s been denied and there’s nowhere to hide now that nothing is true and everything is possible.” “Elegy For Extinction” is a classical gem recorded in Prague with the City Of Prague Symphony Orchestra, and arranged by renowned film & television soundtrack composer George Fenton(Gandhi, Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Groundhog Day, My Name Is Joe), and the first single “{ The Dreamer’s Hotel }” a lavishly produced anthem.
The last decade has seen Enter Shikari increase their stature year on year, a rare career story which has taken them to 4 Top 10 albums, millions of streams, huge sell out world tours (most recently in Russia and two American), as well as multiple awards, last year crowned Best British Band by Rocksound, with Best Album from Kerrang! for ‘The Spark’ at 2018’s Awards.
