“Surrealism has always been really important to Cabaret Voltaire. And that’s still present too,” Kirk said in a statement.

The genesis of the new album was the 2014 Berlin Atonal festival where Kirk played the first show on his own as Cabaret Voltaire. The m.o. Kirk adopted for Shadow of Fear was “no nostalgia. Normal rules do not apply. Something for the 21st Century. No old material,” he added.
