Cage the Elephant premiere new album Social Cues: Stream

Cage the Elephant have dropped their new album, Social Cues. Stream the follow-up to 2015’s Tell Me I’m Pretty now via Apple Music and Spotify.

Recorded in various studios around Nashville and Los Angeles, Social Cues was produced by John Hill (Florence + the Machine, Portugal. the Man). Frontman Matt Shultz wrote much of the music while dealing with the dissolution of a personal relationship. In an exercise of self-examination, he used his lyrics to create characters who would “tell different parts of his personal story,” as a statement put it.

The effort was previewed with a number of singles, including the Beck-featuring “Night Running”, “Ready to Let Go”, “House of Glass”, and the ballad “Goodbye”. In support of the record Cage and Beck are set to head off on a summer co-headlining tour featuring support from Spoon.
