Cage The Elephant Announce New Album, Unpeeled

Cage The Elephant have announced that their next album, Unpeeled, will release July 28 via RCA Records. The album will have 21 tracks, consisting of 18 curated songs from their previous albums, as well as three reimagined versions of current songs.

The recording process for Unpeeled is much different from than those of previous Cage The Elephant records: It was recorded over a series of intimate shows in Los Angeles, Nashville, Washington, D.C. and Knoxville. The instrumentation includes a string quartet along with some additional percussion.

“Many times you’re adding sonic layers looking for something to hide behind, and what you don’t realize is that that vulnerability and that nakedness might be the most compelling and interesting thing about the song,” vocalist Matt Schultz said about the record.

You can watch a new video of Cage The Elephant performing Wreckless Eric’s “Whole Wide World” at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville below. This rendition of “Whole Wide World” will appear on Unpeeled.
