Tell Me I'm Pretty

On their fourth album, Kentucky's Cage the Elephant push beyond the gains of 2013's 'Melophobia'. 'Tell Me I'm Pretty' is produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, and you can tell by the vanilla-psych filter that dissipates some of Cage's usual puppyish energy. Opener 'Cry Baby' tries to out-pronk Tame Impala, 'Trouble' is a dead ringer for 1990s Frank Black, and closer 'Portuguese Knife Fight' rearranges the building blocks of the Stooges. LP - Housed in Gatefold Sleeve.
