The band’s forthcoming fifth studio album is Shikari’s most melodic and personal album to date, and it’s meant to be a record for everyone who’s filled with frustration at the troubles going on in the world around us—but hasn’t lost the capacity for hope.
“The spark is a new connection, a new beginning,” frontman Rou Reynolds says. “It can be short and insignificant, but it can create something so significant. The spark is that light at the end of the tunnel—when everything seems to be falling apart, but you’re able to see some sort of path out of the dark.”

And although the band has forthcoming European tour dates planned, they do have one forthcoming U.S. show: an all-ages matinee album release party happening at Brooklyn's Rough Trade on Saturday, Sept. 30, with entry limited to those who preorder The Spark in the store.
