Social Cues

Cage the Elephant

Polished alternative rock wrestling with the wreckage of a public divorce. Cinematic synths and paranoid grooves meet raw, confessional songwriting.

Find on Amazon

It's a neon-soaked breakup record that sounds like a paranoid 80s thriller.

A sophisticated blend of paranoid energy and devastatingly honest heartbreak.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jagged, industrial guitar riff of House of Glass that mimics the feeling of a panic attack.
The transition into the reggae-inflected groove of Night Running where Beck's nonchalant delivery shifts the album's tension.
The heartbreaking vulnerability of the piano and strings on Goodbye as the finality of the lyrics sets in.
