Cage the Elephant are back.
The American outfit return today with new track Ready To Let Go, the lead single from comeback album Social Cues, due 19 April via Sony/RCA. It’s the band’s first new release since 2015’s Tell Me I’m Pretty, and on it the band joined forces with producer Jonah Hill.
Speaking of the album, frontman Matt Shultz said: “It can be a vehicle to act out things that are hard to confront. When I’m creating, I try to put myself in a reactive state of improvisational thought. I let images just arise in my mind and wait for it to evoke an emotional response and then when it does, I know I’m on to something. I was watching a lot of Fassbinder films, like World on a Wire and The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. I was thinking about their beauty coupled with the graphic surrealism of Aronofsky.”
