Cage The Elephant have announced full details of their new album ‘Dying In Reverse’ and shared its latest taster ‘Make It Easy’ – check it out below.
Their upcoming seventh album is set to be released on February 5, 2027 via Big Loud Rock. You can pre-order it here.
The band shared the title track from their record back in September following the single ‘Beaches In Tennessee’.
Now, they have shared the latest taster from their new album ‘Make It Easy’, check it out below.
“This record’s turned out to be such a special one for us. Without doubt, one of the most creatively gratifying experiences we’ve had as a group yet. After all these years already remaining so tightly knit, it really does feel like this album managed to pull us even closer together,” said frontman Matthew Shultz.
“In a way, it’s a goodbye to the past, closing the door on an era, with a renewed perspective grounded in the present while also walking towards the future with hope and gratitude. Signifying a rebirth of sorts. It’s got all these interesting little windows into the memories and experiences that have shaped who we are as individuals, as well as ultimately a band. I just love it so much. We can’t wait to share it with the world.”
Last year, the band completed their run as special guests on Oasis’ ‘Live ’25 tour’ and went straight back into the studio to record the album.
“The Oasis tour really reignited our fire to dream and continue to dream,” Schultz said. “I think we realised there’s still room to evolve and push ourselves, especially in the live realm. That tour added to our overall passion and desire to see this thing through. When it was over, we decided not to take a break… We pretty much went straight into the studio to start making music.”
Shultz had been detained in a hotel in 2023 for carrying firearms which were only licenced in Kentucky and Tennessee. The arrest, a court found, was the result of psychotic delusions which Shultz had been suffering from as a side-effect of medication he’d been prescribed.
“The arrest, without a doubt, was a miracle,” he told NME in 2024. “It saved my life. Following the arrest I was hospitalised for two months. Then I had six months of outpatient therapy afterwards and I feel completely recovered. But obviously, with recovery, it’s a lifelong thing. You don’t experience something like that and not deal with the scars for the rest of your life, I’m sure.”
Describing how this new music marks a “new chapter” for Cage The Elephant, the singer recently shared: “Musically, we always want to reinvent Cage The Elephant. We’ve discovered a whole new side to our band, how we look at things, and how we make art. You’re growing constantly as an artist, and I think we’ve tapped into that growth. I do feel like we’re making the best music we’ve ever made. If anything, it’s definitely the most inspired.”
They are due to hit the road for a UK and European tour in 2027. Find all the dates here and any remaining tickets here.
