Social Cues by Cage The Elephant
Social Cues is an album by Cage The Elephant, released in 2019. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 33 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Social Cues”, on 18 lists with a best position of #3.
Social Cues, Cage the Elephant's fifth album, arrived on RCA on April 19, 2019, a couple of months after the band announced it at the end of January. John Hill produced, and the Bowling Green, Kentucky crew line up as they had for a few years: Matt Shultz on vocals, his older brother Brad on rhythm guitar, Nick Bockrath on lead guitar, Matthan Minster on guitar and keyboards, Daniel Tichenor on bass and Jared Champion on drums.
The record keeps the band's garage-rock itch but dresses it in sleeker, moodier clothes, with Shultz's jittery yelp riding over the title track, "Black Madonna" and "Skin and Bones". It took Best Rock Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, the band's second win in that category after Tell Me I'm Pretty. Neon Pill followed in 2024.
