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.
