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.”
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 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. 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.
