Enter Shikari release music video for "The Great Unknown"

Nearly a month after the release of their new album Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible, Enter Shikari decided drop a brand new music video today.

With the band members in quarantine, they worked on the visual for their single “The Great Unknown.”For the video, the band turned to Polygon again to give it the magic touch. The director worked with the band on their music videos for “Stop The Clocks” and “{The Dreamer’s Hotel}.” "The Great Unknown is a song about existential dread. A song about the need for new ideas and new beginnings. I’m so glad we were able to still make a video for this song, what with the current state of affairs, and I’m glad we were able to convey the emotions intrinsic to the song with this video - our state of isolation and desolation but also determination and connection,” singer Rou Reynolds said in a statement. “Yet again it was a great pleasure to work with Polygon, albeit remotely this time! I won’t forget taking directions from him on Skype, as I recorded my scenes in front of a homemade green-screen in my bedroom!”

When it comes to the music video, Polygon stated, "The Great Unknown is an invitation for viewers to dive into a futuristic and gloomy world, where high-end buildings mix with gigantic holograms. The concept of the video is to create a parallel between the state we’re all in at the moment and an ultra pessimistic vision of the world… It seems like there is no redemption nor glimmer of hope in this massive city, but even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”

This Saturday (May 16), Enter Shikari will be headlining the NHS benefit online festival Five4Five. The event is free to watch, but a $5 donation is suggested. More info on the two-day event, which also features performances from The Dangerous Summer and Deaf Havana, can be found here.
