Enter Shikari look to the stars in a new video for their latest single ‘Redshift’.

The video features the band playing to the sunset as cosmic imagery flashes, showing star vistas, rocket launches and the Large Hadron Collider. Unsuprising given the theme of the lyrics, as frontman Rou Reynolds explains:

“Redshift is a song about bloody good luck! On the grandest of scales! Literally! Our universe is expanding faster and faster and a few trillion years from now, everything will have sped away from us so fast that all we would see when looking out from Earth is empty space. We would deduce that we were totally alone in the universe. A lost sheep. The last and only biscuit in the tin”

‘Redshift’ was produced by by the band and Mindsweep producer Dan Weller, while the video was directed by Mike Tylor, who also directed the videos for ‘Anesthetist’ and ‘Torn Apart’.  The song itself is very much in the same vein as The Mindsweep, with expansive soundscapes and hope filled chorus’ made to shout along to: “We accelerate Through the extent of outer space/ We accelerate We seperate, we fragment”.

Since the band’s last album Mindsweep came out a year ago the band have been pretty quite concerning new music, having toured extensively since, so to have ‘Redshift’ drop seemingly from space is a pleasant surprise, and is sure to keep fans buzzing before they go on tour again in February.
