CAGE THE ELEPHANT Prep Release Of Live Acoustic Album: Consequence Of Sound
Cage The Elephant will release an unplugged live album this summer called Unpeeled. The album was recorded over a series of acoustic shows in cities across the US. Some of the tracks have string quartet and a choir accompaniment.
Guitarist Brad Shultz says: “We connected with the songs in a way we hadn’t before. We were very transparent, and we found the more honest you can be with yourself, the more honest you can be with everyone else.”
