Cage The Elephant Share Charismatic New Single ‘Good Time’

Cage The Elephant recently shared a new song, “Good Time,” the latest single from the band’s upcoming album Neon Pill.

Neon Pill is due out through Columbia Records on May 17. “Good Time” follows the previously released singles “Out Loud” and the title track.

Singer Matthew Schultz commented, “‘Good Time’ was one of those rare tracks that captivated me almost instantaneously. The instrumentation hit so hard, with an energy that was so commanding, that 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,” he added. “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.”

The band are also set to embark on a summer North American tour in support of the LP.
