Cage the Elephant Make Sense of Tragedy on Gentle ‘Out Loud’


Cage the Elephant have released a new 'Neon Pill' song, 'Out Loud,' as well as upcoming tour dates.

“Too afraid to say it out loud.” The tune makes for a preamble of sorts for the group’s upcoming sixth album, Neon Pill — due out May 17 — which was written following the death of the Shultz brothers’ father and those of other friends. Producer John Hill, who helmed the Kentucky sextet’s last album, 2019’s Social Cues, oversaw the sessions for Neon Pill, which took place in El Paso, Texas, New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles. The Shultzes lost their father nine months into the pandemic and soon found themselves grieving the deaths of other friends, leading to Matthew experiencing depression and a mental breakdown.
