Enter Shikari - We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Dont Want Us To EscapeEnter Shikari - We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Dont Want Us To Escape

It looks like it’s time for the Enter Shikari hype again, the band are back with their brand new single 'We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don't Want Us To Escape' and to be fair the song is a majorly listenable experience and oddly won’t be featured on the bands second full length album which is due out sometime next year. Well it seems quite odd that the song won’t be featured on their second full length album but if you read into the history of the song you will understand that slight bit more, basically 'We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Don't Want Us To Escape' is a re-working of one of the bands old songs that was a demo way back in the day and was an instant hit with their fans but soon got forgotten about when they took it out of their live set for a few years until now I guess.

'We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Dont Want Us To Escape' was produced by Andy Gray, yeah the guy responsible for that annoying Big Brother theme tune that we have had to put up with for 9 years, anyway the single is once again being released on Enter Shikari's own Ambush Reality record label on the 3rd November which is living proof that the band still haven’t cracked from all the offers from the major labels. The song is a lot different from what you would find on their debut album 'Take To The Skies', it’s a lot cleaner sounding, a lot faster and a hell of a lot more upbeat, the synths are quite spacey sounding but then again that’s within the name of the song and it goes really well, the vocals are really fast and sound quite like the squealy sound more sing a long Alexisonfire style vocals in places. 'We Can Breathe In Space, They Just Dont Want Us To Escape' is a great welcome back for Enter Shikari even though the song is a re-working of an old demo that has been hiding away for years, that doesn’t bother me as I have never heard the demo before so class it as a new song and in fact it’s my favourite Enter Shikari single to date without a doubt.

To be fair it’s like Enter Shikari have never left the scene they have been touring their arses off constantly since way before they released their album 'Take To The Skies' in 2007 and they still haven’t stopped, the band are currently on tour check them out if you have the chance as they are bound to finally take some much needed time off now to work on that big album number 2.

5/5
