New Tune on Monday

I just wanted to throw a little love out to one of my favorite newer groups (newer meaning I discovered them in the last five years,) Cage the Elephant.  Originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky, this five piece group tries not to over think or overstate their work.  As a close friend of the band stated about their writing,  "if you're not slightly embarrassed to sing the lyrics, you're probably not writing a good song,"

"Come a Little Closer" is their most current single off their new  album,  Melophobia.  The song is good, not great.  In today's age, they are more of a true rock band than many other artists out there.  If you're curious, check out "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked," "Back Against the Wall," or "Around My Head."
