Out of the blue, and exactly one year to the day from the release of ‘Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible’, comes the companion collection ‘Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption)’.

‘Broadcasts From The Interruption’ was the umbrella moniker for the various home studio sessions and acoustic performances Enter Shikari recorded and released on YouTube and elsewhere throughout 2020 / early 2021. The band chose the best & most interesting from the large available selection of performances along with special performances for 2000 Trees and Five 4 Five’s online festivals - and these have now been remixed by Rou Reynolds, mastered and compiled for worldwide release.

"With no live shows, and no real contact with the rest of the band, it was nice to at least be able to do some remote sessions together. It was also interesting to develop acoustic and alternative versions of some of the new tracks. These performances went some way to filling the gaping hole in our lives!” - Rou Reynolds

‘Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption)’ also includes two special solo acoustic performances recorded by Reynolds especially for the release, which see him accompanied be Bulgaria’s Sofia Session Orchestra. These include a drastically reworked version of ‘The Dreamer’s Hotel’ taken from ‘Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible’.

"After creating an acoustic version of ‘The Dreamer's Hotel’ to play during lockdown livestreams, I began to think that this rather dulcet adaption could benefit from some orchestral parts. I love composing and it was a joy to work with the Sofia Session Orchestra, who, as you'll hear, nailed it”. - Rou Reynolds

On July 16th 2021, the band will release extremely limited edition physical versions of ‘Moratorium (Broadcasts From The Interruption)’, alongside deluxe 2-disc editions of ‘Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible’ featuring both albums.

And here’s the finer details on all the vinyl pressing, which are available to pre-order now in an assortment of merchandise bundles on the Enter Shikari webstore alongside limited edition CD pressings and A Treatise on Possibility: Perspectives on Humanity Hereafter.

Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds’ latest book ‘A Treatise on Possibility: Perspectives on Humanity Hereafter’ is a companion guide to the critically acclaimed sixth Enter Shikari album ‘Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible’ - released on 16th July via Faber Music.

We have sold out of our allocation of A Treatise On Possibility. The book is available from other retailers. We'll add new retailers, both UK and international as and when we are informed of them by Faber.

Human possibility. If we get our act together, our long-term potential is virtually infinite. And infinitely beautiful. But currently humanity is being guided not by wisdom, cooperation and self-reflection but by archaic systems and false assumptions. There are warning signs everywhere: ecological destruction, mental health crises and obscene levels of inequality.

At a time when quite literally Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, Rou Reynolds has gone in deep, head first, exploring the predicaments of modernity. Using his lyrics to navigate the complicated web of problems, he arrives on the other side with his Treatise on Possibility. Hard-hitting and thought provoking, this is a unique perspective on humanity as we approach a point of great change.

“All I can do today is warn. And hopefully, I’ll be presenting you with a more truthful lens through which to view the world than you will find in most corporate media. In Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible I hold a mirror up to society, with the aim of revealing our shared experience, the bigger picture that is so often covered by mists of complexity and everyday toil. Though this book revolves around my lyrics, it’s more of an analysis of the world in which Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible was written. I’ll guide you through my thoughts and feelings on that world, with the lyrics acting as convenient signposts along the way. This is my treatise on possibility.” Rou Reynolds, 2021.

Presented in two parts, ‘A Treatise on Possibility’ includes all lyrics from the Enter Shikari album ‘Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible’ in a full-colour 48-page section with photos, followed by what Rou describes as his ‘proper reading’ territory.

'Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here' (Live At Home)

It was nice to revisit this track, recording it in front of green screens in our respective front rooms, and then giving the footage to our mate Oleg to create a psychedelic beast of a video for.
