Cage The Elephant are gearing up for the release of “Tell Me I’m Pretty,” their fourth album and follow-up to the 2013 Grammy-nominated “Melophobia.” Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys produced the highly anticipated album, out Dec. 18 via RCA Records. His influence is evident in the tracks that have been released so far. Singer Matt Schultz says: “Working with Dan was the perfect balance to our approach. The end result was … a great experience that really brought on a lot of growth.” With their first single, “Mess Around,” making its way up the charts and across the airwaves, the Kentucky boys have divulged another track from the forthcoming album. “Trouble” features a heavy guitar, catchy chorus and the distinct Cage sound their fans know and love. Both new songs are instant-gratification downloads with a pre-order of the new album.
