Cage The Elephant Charge Into A Renewed Creative Era With “Beaches In Tennessee,” A Deeply Personal New Single Arriving Alongside Their Big Loud Rock Signing.
Multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning rock powerhouse Cage The Elephant are officially back. After two years without new music, the Kentucky-born band has returned with their powerful new single, “Beaches In Tennessee,” while simultaneously announcing a major new partnership with Big Loud Rock, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of modern rock's most influential bands.
The signing alone is a significant moment. Few bands have built the kind of legacy Cage The Elephant has over the last two decades, earning multiple GRAMMY® Awards, billions of streams, dozens of Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum certifications, and an incredible thirteen No. 1 Alternative radio hits. Their move to Big Loud Rock signals a fresh creative era for a band that continues to evolve rather than settle into past success.
Leading this next chapter is “Beaches In Tennessee,” a deeply personal release inspired by frontman Matt Shultz's journey through recovery following his mental health crisis several years ago. Rather than dwelling in darkness, the song transforms difficult experiences into something hopeful, reflective, and uplifting, balancing emotional honesty with an unmistakably memorable hook. The result is a record that feels intimate while remaining instantly accessible.
“Beaches In Tennessee” Opens A Bold, Inspired Era Rooted In Honesty, Healing, And Renewed Purpose.
Produced by Justin Raisen and SADPONY (Jeremiah Raisen), whose collective work includes Charli xcx, SZA, Kim Gordon, Lil Yachty, Yves Tumor, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the track embraces a stripped-back approach that lets the songwriting take center stage. Built around Brad Shultz's driving guitar work, the recording favors raw energy and genuine chemistry, creating a sound that feels immediate, authentic, and unmistakably Cage The Elephant.
The release also arrives following the band's recent run as special guests on Oasis' Live '25 tour, an experience that reignited their creative momentum and ultimately sent them straight back into the studio instead of taking time off. That renewed sense of purpose is woven throughout this new release and hints at an exciting body of work still to come.
Few bands have maintained the level of consistency Cage The Elephant has achieved throughout their career. From Melophobia to the GRAMMY-winning albums Tell Me I'm Pretty and Social Cues, followed by the acclaimed Neon Pill, they have continually redefined their sound while remaining one of alternative rock's most respected and celebrated acts.
With “Beaches In Tennessee,” Cage The Elephant are not simply returning with new music. They are opening the door to an exciting new creative era, proving once again why they remain one of rock's most enduring and forward-thinking bands. If this first release is any indication, fans have every reason to be excited for what comes next.
