Scroll down to hear Cage The Elephant frontman Matt Shultz give a running commentary on ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty‘ whilst streaming the band’s new album in full.

The album was released yesterday (December 18th) after recording sessions at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville with producer and Black Keys member Dan Auerbach, as they all aimed to capture the power of a live Cage The Elephant show by laying down most of the tracks in one take.

“The best songs on ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’ see Cage and Auerbach blending their talents to create something distinguishable outside their usual artistic territory,” our review reads.

“‘How Are You True’ has a night-time blues feel but its ‘Abbey Road‘-esque instrumentation unfolds tastefully, as subtle strings elegantly shimmer underneath a mid-tempo trudge.”

“The watery western groove of ‘Too Late To Say Goodbye’ features cackling high-hats and exceptional bass work, its mic swaying chorus refrain perhaps the album’s most rewarding moment, after which ‘Portuguese Knife Flight’ concludes on a high note with its spooky strut.”
