New Enter Shikari music is finally here. The band premiered their brand new track ‘The Dreamer’s Hotel’ with BBC Radio host Annie Mac, and now, the song is everywhere for our enjoyment.

Fans may have already caught a bit of the song on social media recently, though frontman Rou Reynolds attempted to throw followers off the trail, stating, “Back home and messing with this. probably not really ‘first single from the album’ material.”

The heavily percussive track is incredibly catchy and will inevitably have listeners stuck with the phrase “meanwhile” in their heads for quite some time. Have a look at the lyrics and listen to the track in full below with the accompanying video:

Here are the official lyrics to ‘The Dreamer’s Hotel’

Outrage!
That’s it I’m going on a rampage
Don’t waste my time with any context
I’m gonna ruin all your prospects
I’m gonna pick all your pockets

Fury!
I am the judge and I’m the jury
It’s dog eat dog and I’m a pure breed
I’ll work you up into a frenzy
But God this baggage is heavy

Meanwhile…
Back at The Dreamer’s Hotel
5 stars but all rooms are vacant

Meanwhile…
I can hear alarm bells
Outside they’re losing their patience

Cheapshot!
Another tempest in a teapot
I am King Arthur in Camelot
Connected to the hotspot
For 8 days on the trot
Fighting the trolls and the bots

Students!
Nuance aint nothing but a nuisance
You’re either good or you are evil
You play a prick and there’s no sequel
And that’s the will of the people

Meanwhile…
Back at The Dreamer’s Hotel
5 stars and rose coloured windows

Meanwhile…
Back at The Dreamer’s Hotel
5 stars and courtesy disco

If love is blind
Hatred is deaf
And well fed
