"Mothership" is the first single by Enter Shikari. It was released as a digital download and a very limited run of 100 CD singles. It was released in August 2006. There was no vinyl released. It was available from their online store[1] and from iTunes. It has been featured as single of the week on the iTunes Store.
A video has been made for this single, which is viewable on the band's website.[2] The song has since been re-recorded and was included on Enter Shikari's debut album, Take to the Skies. When performed live, a set of dubstep intros, collectively known as "Motherstep," is sometimes played along with the song. A single of the "Motherstep" version of "Mothership," recorded in 2010 at the Hammersmith Apollo, was released as a single on 26 January 2011.[3]
