Cage The Elephant announce new album ‘Social Cues’ with ‘Ready To Let Go’ video

Cage The Elephant have announced details of their fifth album!

‘Social Cues’ will come out on 19th April via Columbia, and is being previewed by a video for first single ‘Ready To Let Go’.

The album follows 2015’s ‘Tell Me I’m Pretty’ and was, in part, inspired by the breakdown of a relationship that frontman Matt Schultz was in.

“It can be a vehicle to act out things that are hard to confront,” he says of the music. “When I’m creating, I try to put myself in a reactive state of improvisational thought. I let images just arise in my mind and wait for it to evoke an emotional response and then when it does, I know I’m on to something. I was watching a lot of Fassbinder films, like World on a Wire and The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. I was thinking about their beauty coupled with the graphic surrealism of Aronofsky.”
