Cage The Elephant
Aug 11, 2013
"Come A Little Closer" is Cage The Elephant's first single from their highly anticipated third studio album, Melophobia, which is due out on October 8th via RCA Records. The new album was recorded in Nashville and reunites the band with producer Jay Joyce who produced the group's prior two releases.
The Bowling Green, KY five-piece consists of singer Matt Shultz, guitarist Brad Shultz, bassist Daniel Tichenor, guitarist Lincoln Parish, and drummer Jared Champion.
"Releasing this single feels like a new beginning for us," said Parish.
The new album is the follow up to 2011's acclaimed sophomore album Thank You Happy Birthday, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and has over 250,000 copies to date. Rolling Stone, New York Times, LA Times, USA Today, and Entertainment Weekly praised the release as "one of the best rock albums of the year". The album also spawned the hit single "Shake Me Down" which spent six weeks at #1 at Alternative radio.
Their acclaimed self-titled debut album was released in 2009 and has sold over 550,000 copies to date. The album remained on the Billboard 200 Chart for an astounding 73 consecutive weeks and produced three Top 5 singles at Alternative Radio, including the massive hit "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked". In additional to numerous Sold Out headline runs, Cage The Elephant has toured with Black Keys, Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, Silversun Pickups, Manchester Orchestra, and more.
This coming September Cage The Elephant will bring their raucous live show to arena audiences across the US for a run of dates with Muse.
