Cage The Elephant Return After Five-year Hiatus with “Neon Pill” Single

Cage The Elephant returns after a five-year hiatus with their new single “Neon Pill” via RCA Records. The two-time GRAMMY Award-winning band consists of brothers Matt Shultz (vocals) and Brad Shultz (rhythm guitar) along with Daniel Tichenor (bass), Jared Champion (drums), Nick Bockrath (lead guitar) and Matthan Minster (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals).

For this song, they reunited with producer John Hill to record the song at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas. Recently, the band has confirmed two festival performances with sets at 2024’s Bonnaroo and Hangout Fest.

“Neon Pill” is the group’s first new music since their album, Social Cues, which won Best Rock album at the 2019 GRAMMY Awards. The cinematic song is both sinewy and swaggering with an art house film backdrop.

The band’s catalogue continues to grow – they’ve garnered over 5 billion total streams and within the last year, their fan-favourite song “Cigarette Daydreams” has been streamed 200 million times, in part thanks to their inclusion on the soundtrack of the video game Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and saw a concurrent resurgence on TikTok and a boom with the video creations using the song. Additionally, their song “Goodbye” was featured in the viral YA series “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” and the song “Trouble” was included in a recent international ad campaign for “Amazon Prime.”
