The Spark

The Spark is the fifth studio album by English rock band Enter Shikari, released on 22 September 2017 through Ambush Reality. It was recorded in Northamptonshire in early 2017.
Following world events in 2016, including Brexit and the election of Donald Trump, leadman Rou Reynolds announced on Twitter that he had been suffering from general anxiety disorder. He declared his frustration and newfound inspiration to write what he intended to be the band's most important work. The band got to work writing songs following the end of the Take to the Skies 10th Anniversary tour.
On 31 July 2017 the band released a music video for the first single "Live Outside". On 13 September 2017 the second single and the music video for "Rabble Rouser" was released.
The album was released on 22 September 2017 through Ambush Reality in the UK and PIAS Recordings internationally.
In November and December 2017 the band supported the release of the album with a arena tour of the UK and mainland Europe.
