Moratorium (Broadcasts From the Interruption)

Enter Shikari’s Moratorium (Broadcasts From the Interruption) finds the Brighton quartet recalibrating their synth-pop and alternative rock arsenal through acoustic restraint. Released via SO Recordings, the project strips away the band’s customary electronic maximalism in favor of intimate arrangements that let Rou Flight’s vocals and the group’s melodic sensibilities breathe. It’s a deliberate pause—a moratorium on spectacle—that reveals the indie rock bones beneath their synth-driven exterior.
