RCA RecordsCage the Elephant has dished out the first taste of their new album, Tell Me I'm Pretty. The first single from the band's forthcoming fourth album is called "Mess Around," and it's now streaming on YouTube.
Tell Me I'm Pretty was produced by Dan Auerbach, and The Black Keys frontman also plays the guitar solo on "Mess Around."
"[Auerbach's] approach to production was really refreshing," frontman Matt Shultz tells Consequence of Sound. "One of things he tries to do is keep you from second-guessing yourself or overthinking an idea. A lot of the songs on the record are one take, a lot of the vocals are scratch vocals. He's a very reactive producer."
Pre-orders for Tell Me I'm Pretty will be available starting Friday. The album will be released on December 18.
Here is the track list for Tell Me I'm Pretty:
"Cry Baby"
"Mess Around"
"Sweetie Little Jean"
"Too Late to Say Goodbye"
"Cold Cold Cold"
"Trouble"
"How Are You True"
"That’s Right"
"Punchin’ Bag"
"Portuguese Knife Fight"
