For many people the words ‘Enter Shikari’ and ‘ears bleeding’ can usually be found in the same sentence. But now with Rolo Tomassi catching them up in the genre bending world, and let’s face it doing it a hell of a lot better, Enter Shikari have to produce something fresh, or at least a development from their previous hap- dash ideas.
So now you’ll find the band’s most memorable moment is not the odd handclap, but the several mighty hooks ‘We Can Breathe In Space’ has concocted. Where before ideas were thrown together in a three minute mindfuck, here they blend perfectly. From the hard synthesiser melody to the heavy riff, the song follows a structure the band have always so badly needed. With a simple tune, this is the single the group should have produced years ago. Maybe now Enter Shikari can distance themselves from those bleeding ears and continue to pave their own way.
