First Single, “Ready To Let Go” Jumps To #3 At Alternative

(March 8, 2019) Cage The Elephant has shared a new track today, “House of Glass.” The angular and anxious track teeters on a razor’s edge – with new wave guitar and nervous confessions, and is a highlight from their forthcoming fifth studio album, Social Cues. The track is released today with a companion video by Lexington-based artist, Robert Beatty. Guitarist Brad Shultz spoke to Consequence of Sound about the “Origins” of the song. Read more about it HERE and listen to the song HERE. Social Cues is out on April 19th on RCA Records. The song is available as an instant grat along with the single, “Ready To Let Go” for those who pre-order the album HERE.

Cage The Elephant has also recently announced The Night Running Tour where they will be co-headlining with Beck, who is featured on the album track “Night Running.” Spoon will open all dates as a special guest with additional support from Starcrawler, Sunflower Bean and Wild Belle in select cities. Full dates below. Tickets are on sale now at LiveNation.com. Beck and Cage The Elephant have partnered up with PLUS1 and $1 from every ticket sold will be donated back into each city they are playing in, supporting local food security initiatives as they work towards ending hunger in their communities. Prior to the tour, the band is headlining Shaky Knees Festival on May 4th in Atlanta.

Cage The Elephant’s first single, “Ready To Let Go,” was released at the end of January with a music video directed by Matt Shultz. The single leaped to #3 at Alternative radio. “Cage The Elephant’s new single ‘Ready to Let Go’ is off to a strong start at radio,” said Billboard, “scoring the band its best Alternative Songs airplay chart debut in its near-decade career.”

Watch Video for “Ready To Let Go”

“After becoming one of rock’s most promising bands, their singer’s life fell apart – and they made their best album yet.” – Rolling Stone (feature)

“The rock mainstay has lost none of their edge, expertly balancing gravity, dread, and the chaotic embrace of change against the scratchy guitars and unruly vocals that, even years later, remain indispensable to their signature sound.” – Consequence of Sound

“‘Ready To Let Go’ is as sturdy and inviting as anything they’ve ever done, beginning their latest album cycle with a bang.” – Uproxx

“‘Ready To Let Go’ does anything but let the viewer go, opting instead to lure curious onlookers in with an intoxicating, blood-spattered strangeness you can’t quite look away from.” – Paste

“Contrary to the song’s title, ‘Ready To Let Go’ does anything but, holding the listener in its intense grip as feelings of paranoia and dread coil ever tighter around your throat.” – Paper

Social Cues was produced by John Hill (Santigold, Florence + The Machine, Portugal. The Man, tUnE-yArDs), recorded at Battle Tapes Recording, Blackbird Studio and Sound Emporium in Nashville and The Village Recording Studio in Los Angeles, and mixed by Tom Elmhirst and mastered by Randy Merrill in New York City.

Deeply inspired by punk music, brothers Matt and Brad Shultz began playing music in high-school with fellow students Jared Champion and Daniel Tichenor. Shortly after forming the band, they made the bold move to London to begin their career. Their self-titled debut album gained them international attention, catapulting them up the Billboard Alternative and Rock charts and achieving RIAA Platinum certification. Cage the Elephant has released three additional studio albums – 2011’s Thank You, Happy Birthday, the Gold-certified Melophobia and the GRAMMY®-winning Tell Me I’m Pretty. At radio, Cage The Elephant holds the record for the most #1 Alternative songs of any artist this decade. Cage The Elephant have had 7 Billboard #1 singles with 11 singles landing in the Billboard Top 10 and digitally have a combined 1.5 billion streams worldwide. Their most recent release was their expansive live album, Unpeeled, which found the band performing stripped down and backed by a string quartet and a choir. Based in Nashville, Cage The Elephant is vocalist Matt Shultz, rhythm guitarist Brad Shultz, drummer Jared Champion, bassist Daniel Tichenor, lead guitarist Nick Bockrath and keyboardist Matthan Minster.
