Enter Shikari has unveiled a new single, ‘Losing My Grip’, featuring FEVER 333’s singer, Jason Aalon Butler. Commenting on the collaboration, Enter Shikari singer Rou Reynolds said :
“We’ve known Jason for years now and have toured much of the world together. I think we always thought that it’d be great to collaborate on something when the right opportunity surfaced. This track certainly felt right. It required a thoughtful intensity, which Jason provides effortlessly in whatever he sets his mind to. We can’t wait to take FEVER 333 out on our UK and Europe tour, it’s been too long since we shared a stage together.
Speaking about the new single, Reynolds adds:
“’Losing My Grip’ oscillates between two of our favourite and foundational genre influences: drum’n’bass and hardcore punk. Lyrically, it’s about the immense power that our species now wields, and the pressure and weight that that adds to our lives. We’re the only species capable of destroying itself – and all others – completely and, increasingly, it appears as though we’re only too willing. ‘Losing My Grip’ is about the fight to stay sane whilst living in a deeply and dangerously flawed system.”
Enter Shikari and FEVER 333 will be touring across the UK and Europe next month, including a stop at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels on 19 February. The concert is sold out, but you can join the waiting list on the venue’s website
