I've just heard Gandhi Mate, Gandhi from Enter Shikari on BBC radio 1. It's brilliantly weird and I've don't think I've ever heard so much packed into one song. There's pounding drums, angry electronic guitars, and a drop that would probably shake the ribs of anybody lucky enough to hear it live. It starts off with a rant that descends into electronic sounds, followed by another angry rant that is then succeeded by a load of voices going "woah mate, calm down. Gandhi, mate. Remember Gandhi". It's a little humour in the middle of a rant about quite serious topics, reminding us not to take Enter Shikari too seriously. Afterwards there's fast paced vocals over a huge messy clash of drums and various other instruments, concluding with a massive outro that slightly feels like a build up to something; then suddenly just stops.
Overall, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Gandhi Mate, Gandhi. What I will say is that this song is undeniably bewildering, furious, disorientating and generally mind-blowing. The link is below if you want to listen.
