In this conversation, we discuss:

  • pre-album writing anxiety and ways to get started on new projects

  • exploring subjects matter from songs in a more expansive way

  • the reality of being a supposed "Myspace band" - social media platforms as part of a larger puzzle

  • music making as mountain climbing: tough and lonely at times - but exhilarating, too

  • mindfulness and meditation as tools for a better understanding of ourselves

  • the importance of a decent chair when you're someone who sits in one all day long


Rou Reynolds is a vocalist, songwriter, composer, author and award-winning producer, best known for fronting Enter Shikari. Formed in 1999, the band are known for making outspoken, genre-spanning music accompanied by explosive live shows.
