Cage The Elephant premiere latest Neon Pill single Good Time

Cage The Elephant preview their forthcoming new album.

Cage The Elephant have premiered their latest Neon Pill single Good Time ahead of the LP’s release on May 17th.

Matthew Shultz said it’s, ‘one of those rare tracks that captivated me almost instantaneously’, and has praised the instrumentation for hitting hard, ‘with an energy that was so commanding’:

“It was almost as if I couldn’t have kept myself from writing something to it if I had wanted to. Very different from anything we had ever written before, and somehow it still felt relatively familiar in contrast to our prior works.”

It felt like visually the music was some strange monstrous alien creature thunderously marching and stumbling down a crowded street in the middle of a parade on a sweltering hot summer day or something weird like that. I wanted the vocals to dance around and play with that energy.

“To be potent and at the same time intuitive or a seemingly random mumbling. As though they were a frantically ranted broken confessional piece. To illustrate as best as possible, psychosis and the entanglement of the inner dialog that constantly circulates when in that state.”
