Cage The Elephant announce new album ‘Dying In Reverse’ with guitar heavy single ‘Make It Easy’

Cage The Elephant are preparing to release their seventh studio album, entitled ‘Dying In Reverse’, scheduled for February 5, 2027, through Big Loud Rock. The band has introduced the project with the guitar-driven single ‘Make It Easy’, following earlier previews including the title track and ‘Beaches In Tennessee’. Fans can now pre-order the album as anticipation builds around this new chapter in the group’s career.

Frontman Matthew Shultz has described the upcoming record as a particularly meaningful and creatively fulfilling endeavour for the band. He reflects on how the album serves as a symbolic farewell to past chapters while embracing a fresh outlook that is grounded in the present and optimistic about the future. According to Shultz, the songs offer a range of reflections on personal and collective experiences that have shaped both the individuals and the band over time.

The band’s momentum towards this release followed closely on the heels of their participation as special guests during Oasis’ ‘Live ’25’ tour in 2025. This tour experience rekindled Cage The Elephant’s ambition and inspired them to dive directly back into the studio to craft new material, foregoing any extended hiatus. Shultz emphasized that the tour reaffirmed their commitment to artistic evolution and live performance growth, fueling the recording sessions that birthed ‘Dying In Reverse’.

Notably, Shultz faced significant personal challenges in 2023 when he was detained due to issues related to firearm possession, linked to medication-induced psychotic episodes. After a period of hospitalization and subsequent outpatient therapy, he has since made a full recovery. This period of adversity has profoundly influenced the emotional and thematic undercurrents of the new album, marking it as a transformative phase for the band.

Musically, Cage The Elephant aims to continue reinventing their sound with this release. Shultz has indicated that the band discovered new artistic perspectives during the creation of ‘Dying In Reverse’, contributing to what he feels is some of their most inspired work to date. This evolution suggests a deliberate effort to push creative boundaries while maintaining the core elements that define their identity.

The album’s tracklist comprises twelve songs, including ‘Influence’, ‘Wound Up’, ‘Leave The Light On’, ‘I Love You Anyway’, and ‘Cherry Cola’, among others. This collection appears poised to showcase a balance of introspection and energy, reflecting the band’s journey and renewed vision.

Looking ahead, Cage The Elephant has announced plans for an extensive UK and European tour in 2027, which will support the album’s release and offer audiences the opportunity to experience their latest material live. Ticket availability remains, inviting fans to engage with the band’s ongoing evolution on stage.

While details about the full creative process or additional collaborations remain sparse, the forthcoming album represents a significant milestone in Cage The Elephant’s trajectory. It encapsulates both personal resilience and artistic growth, signaling a promising direction for the group as they enter a new phase in their career.
