Cage The Elephant Tell Me I'm Pretty (180 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold LP Jacket)

Cage The Elephant Tell Me I'm Pretty (180 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold LP Jacket)On their fourth album, Tell Me I'm Pretty, Kentucky rock band Cage the Elephant still can't shake their influences. Over the course of Cage the Elephant's career, each step along the way has attracted attention for the sounds they incorporated: Nirvana, Beck, the Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, the White Stripes, Pixies. Now, enter the Black Keys. It's no surprise, given that the head Key, Dan Auerbach, produced the album at his Easy Eye Studio in Nashville.

" while Restivo takes an unused Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave riff and twists it into a juicy

/Nashville loop

and opts for Vile's cheery stoner strumming

details falling into a place so subtly they're felt

Czukay was constantly experimenting with tapes and with non-traditional musical implements like radios and Dictaphones

sometimes darker thoughts of insecurity

not merely for the richness of his voice

There's a distinct folk-rock flavor to the ballad "It'll All Work Out

and some sweet synth boogie is never very far away
