Cage The Elephant - Tell Me I'm Pretty (5141702) CD

Fourth album from Kentucky's Cage The Elephant produced by Black Keys‘ Dan Auerbach

Cage the Elephant continue to bring the heat singles-wise with 'Mess Around' and 'Trouble', the latter a wickedly left-field dirge that sees Shultz hush up his usually manic delivery. Slower cuts like the gorgeous 'How Are You True' prove that Melophobia’s restraint is here to stay, the livelier moments moving with the humble, rootsy swagger of a band like White Denim or, funnily enough, The Black Keys, who’s lead man Dan Auerbach oversees production here. Given that, Tell Me I’m Pretty is a warmer sounding record than their last three, the more abrasive, eccentric approach to production on Melophobia traded in for the typical fuzzy, layered mesh of a late-era Black Keys record
