Cage The Elephant / Cage The Elephant
11 Track CD
Released: May 19, 2009
Cage The Elephant was recommended to me from three different people in the course of four days. The music isn't quite what I expected, but I have to admit that every single one of them was right when they said "You'll like it". Although the band hails from Kentucky, they play happy, British-inspired, vigorous indie-rock, laced with slide guitars and backed by beats and guitar riffs that incite dancing. Uncomplex, catchy, with lot's of influences, but the real reason to listen to this album is just for good times. I can't say for sure, but I'm willing to bet my lunch that these guys put on a great concert. Favourite track: In One Ear. Other good listens: Ain't No Rest For The Wicked, Lotus, Brick Against The Wall, and Tiny Little Robots.
