Tell Me I'm Pretty, Cage the Elephant's fourth album, dropped on RCA on December 18, 2015, and it finds the Bowling Green, Kentucky band going vintage with a vengeance. They cut it in the spring of 2015 at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville with Dan Auerbach producing, and the record has a loose, shaggy garage-rock feel: the guitars of Brad Shultz, Nick Bockrath and Matthan Minster sway and sting while Daniel Tichenor and Jared Champion keep the groove loose-limbed. Matt Shultz said the band wanted to be more transparent this time, true to whatever feeling each song stirred up, and the songs do feel unguarded.
"Mess Around" led the way with a video stitched together from Georges Méliès films, A Trip to the Moon among them, and "Trouble" followed it to alternative radio. The album won Best Rock Album at the 59th Grammy Awards.
