Enter Shikari release "It Hurts" music video

Enter Shikari have unveiled the music video for their latest single “It Hurts” today.

The visual, which can be seen below, follows the events of their "[pls] set me on fire" music video. Much like their previous video, vocalist Rou Reynolds directed this visual filled with a music conductor, someone doing gymnastics, and a fortune teller.

Reynolds said this about their new single:

"It Hurts came to me in a dream. Literally. Melody, chords, and fully-formulated chorus were all part of a dream that, thankfully, remained with me when I woke up. I was hiding under the duvet at 3AM, singing it into my phone, much to the bewilderment of my girlfriend.

Lyrically, It Hurts is about perseverance, and the importance of reframing failure as a fruitful and, in fact, pivotal route to progress. Society teaches us we should avoid and criticise failure, when defeat and honest mistakes can actually present us with insights that light our way forward.

In reality, we should be taught that simply to try makes us more than enough.”

“It Hurts” comes from Enter Shikari’s forthcoming studio album A Kiss For The Whole World, which will be released on April 21 via So Recordings/Ambush Reality. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.

Enter Shikari are currently on the road in support of the album with a slew of sold-out performances coming up. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets for select shows are still on sale to the general public here.
