New from Cage the Elephant: Stream ‘House of Glass,’ from New LP ‘Social Cues’

Cage the Elephant‘s new record, Social Cues, is said to have drawn its inspiration heavily from the personal experiences of front man Matt Shultz, especially his recent divorce.

The band’s newest song, “House of Glass,” premiered on Friday, and follows that theme, with lyrics about isolation and the titular house made of glass. Musically, it has a slightly sinister tone to its overall feel, and it’s a solid listen. Do so below:

“House of Glass” is the second song released thus far from Social Cues, which will be out on April 19th, following the previously premiered hit single “Ready To Let Go.”

Cage the Elephant will head out on the road supporting the new album on a co-headlining tour with Beck, with special guests Spoon appearing at all dates as well (with Starcrawler, Sunflower Bean Wild Belle appearing on select dates). The schedule:
