A Flash Flood of Colour is the third studio album by the English post-hardcore band Enter Shikari. It was announced on Facebook that the album is to be released internationally on 16 January 2012 through Ambush Reality in United Kingdom and Hopeless Records in North America.[1] The first single off the album, "Sssnakepit", was released on 20 September 2011. "Arguing With Thermometers" has also appeared on the band's setlist for every one of their gigs since their Autumn 2011 European tour. On 5 December 2011, the band revealed the song "Gandhi Mate, Gandhi" as a preview to the album's release on their Facebook page and also on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.[3]

The record was produced by former-SikTh guitarist Dan Weller throughout May and June 2011 in Karma Sound Studios in Thailand and in London, UK. It was then mixed in Vancouver by Mike Fraser.

On 20 December 2011 the band released a 60 second album teaser video featuring clips from all the songs on the album.
