Cage the Elephant have confirmed the release of their new album, Neon Pill, along with an extensive North American tour.
Neon Pill, the band’s sixth full-length album, arrives on May 17th via RCA Records. Spanning 12 tracks, the album was recorded following a series of traumatic events, including the deaths of several close family members and friends (including Matthew and Brad Shultz’s father), as well as Matthew’s mental health breakdown.
“To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean that in a positive way,” Matthew said in a statement. “Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into finding our own voice. We’ve always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times we’ve even emulated some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing.”
Cage the Elephant initially previewed the album with the release of the album’s title track, “Neon Pill,” last month. To coincide with today’s announcement, they’ve shared a second preview in the form of “Out Loud.”
The band’s supporting North American tour stretches more than 45 dates and includes festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Hangout Music Festival, and Oceans Calling. Young the Giant will served as the main support for a majority of the upcoming tour dates.
A Live Nation ticket pre-sale for Cage the Elephant’s 2024 tour is set for Thursday, March 7th, ahead of a public on-sale on Friday, March 8th via Ticketmaster.
