Cage the Elephant are in a constant state of motion on their new single “Metaverse,” set to appear on their forthcoming studio album Neon Pill, out May 17.
“It’s a natural progression/No need for affection/Just a perfect deflection/When you’ve got no perspective,” frontman Matthew Shultz sings on the chorus. “Every day spent far from my family/Double check checked out I’m half asleep/What the hell, oh well, that’s life/What the hell, I keep running and running/Every day that dream comes back to me/Falling out further,...

Cage the Elephant have released a new song titled “Good Time,” the latest single from their forthcoming album, Neon Pill.
Musically, “Good Time” is reminiscent of Cage the Elephant’s mid-2010s classics, with punchy drums driving harmonic layers of guitar chords and fuzzy keyboard lines. Lyrically, along with the other tracks on Neon Pill, it speaks to the phase of life the members of Cage the Elephant find themselves in, juxtaposing tense verses with the soaring chorus refrain of “Everybody had a good time.”

Speaking about their new phase of writing, the band’s Matthew Shultz said, “With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing.
