  • 2024 release from Cage The Elephant Neon Pill

    First full-length album in five years!

    Follow-up to 2019's Grammy-winning Social Cues

    Neon Pill is the highly anticipated new album from Cage The Elephant, and group's first new music since their album, Social Cues, which won Best Rock album at the 2019 Grammy Awards.

    For their sixth album, the Kentucky six-piece look to forge new musical ground, while still retaining their signature cathartic sound throughout. As well as announcing the project, Cage The Elephant have also shared another single from the album, "Out Loud."

    The second to be taken from the album following the title track, "Out Loud" is described as the "emotional centrepiece" of the album, and sees the band take a stripped-back, emotional approach.

    Centred around a stark piano, frontman Matthew Shultz sings "Man I really messed up now/ Too afraid to say it out loud/ I can barely breath, who'm I trying to be/ I'm still trying to figure it out."

    "‘Out Loud' is very connected to my father. My dad's the reason we discovered music in the first place. When he died, ‘Out Loud' just poured out of me. My efforts towards the song were deeply rooted in paying honour to him, and I knew it meant a lot to Brad too," Shultz said of the inspiration for the song.

    Discussing the album as a whole, the singer also reflected on the mindset which the members were in while writing the new material, and summarised that it represents Cage The Elephant honing in on their own sound more than ever before.

    "To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean that in a positive way," he explained.

    "Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into finding our own voice. We've always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times we've even emulated some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren't reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self-expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing."
