A Kiss For The Whole World

Enter Shikari are a rock band from St Albans, UK. In 2020, they released their sixth album, Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, which also became their sixth album to debut in the UK Albums Chart Top 5. Frequently collecting Best Live Artist awards, Enter Shikari’s seventeen-year career has seen them rise from teenagers touring UK grassroots venues to festival main stages and arena headline slots worldwide.It was in the spring of 2022 that the band descended on the coastal town of Chichester and a dilapidated farmhouse to rebuild their studio setup and capture their renewed momentum on record. Using only solar power to track the album—in what Rou Reynolds says was to “bring back some sense of naivety”—the life-giving properties and technicolour palette of A Kiss For The Whole World were made real.Reynolds continues: “Back to basics. This band - my best friends - bundled into an old farmhouse, miles away from anywhere. Off-grid, and ready to rediscover ourselves. This album is powered by the sun, the most powerful object in our solar system. And I think you can tell. It’s a collection of songs that represent an explosive reconnection with what Enter Shikari is. The beginning of our second act.”
