Cage The Elephant Announce February 2016 Tour

• 4th Dec 2015

Cage the Elephant have announced a run of UK tour dates for February 2016 in support of their new album ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’, out through Columbia Records on 18th December.

The album has been described as the band’s most forceful and focused songs yet, a set of concise, punchy garage-pop with a feel that guitarist Brad Shultz describes as “a psychedelic John Wayne at an Iggy Pop show.”

“With this record, we wanted to be more transparent,” expands brother and lead singer Matt Shultz. “We wanted to capture the sentiment of each song, and whatever emotional response it provoked, to be really honest to that. We set out to have a classic-sounding record but with a modern sonic depth, like hip-hop or dance music. Working with Dan was great. He has an incredible concept of atmosphere and vibe, and capturing the raw, first response.”
