TEST SPINS | Cage The Elephant: ‘Melophobia’
|
It had been five years since Social Cues. As an avid Cage The Elephant fan, the near silence from the band was concerning — were they ever going to make music again? Finally, the band announced they would be releasing Neon Pill in May of 2024. I anxiously awaited the album, thrilled to hear new music with that classic Cage sound. On release day, I tuned in … and while that was definitely Matt Shultz on the mic, what I heard didn’t sound like a Cage The Elephant record to me.
