Cage The Elephant.

Punching out a solid new album recently, Cage The Elephant have propelled themselves back on the scene rekindling the buzz from their self titled debut back in 2008. The album itself is an ambitious attempt at diversifying 'the elephants' product range featuring a mix between franticly fuzzy, up-tempo rock and calmer, more melodic indie rock and for the most part it works. The lead vocals of Matthew Shultz powerfully guides the elephants in a manner that, at times, resembles Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse) ie in a way that both makes sense in a logical structured way, and then doesn't. The single track 'Shake Me Down' is one such track that is not as adventurous as most but one that is cleverly crafted upon tempo changes and what we like to call rhythmic suspense. Enjoy . . .
