Cage the Elephant announce Dying in Reverse for 5 February 2027, their first album on Big Loud Rock

Cage the Elephant have announced their seventh studio album. Dying in Reverse arrives on 5 February 2027, and the band have shared a new single, "Make It Easy", to go with it.

For readers meeting them for the first time: Cage the Elephant formed in Kentucky in 2006 around brothers Matt and Brad Shultz, and have spent two decades as one of American alternative rock's most reliable live bands. Their last record was Neon Pill in 2024.

What we know about the record

Dying in Reverse is the band's first release on Big Loud Rock, the Nashville label, after their years on RCA. It was produced by Justin Raisen and Jeremiah Raisen, who works under the name SADPONY.

It has 12 tracks: "Influence", "Make It Easy", "Beaches in Tennessee", "Wound Up", "Dying in Reverse", "Leave the Light On", "I Love You Anyway", "Cherry Cola", "Crossfaded", "Why U Keeping Me Around", "Give Me One Good Reason" and "Wear the Daylight".

Three of those are already out. "Beaches in Tennessee" and the title track came first, and "Make It Easy" is the newest, which the band played on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week. That leaves nine songs nobody has heard yet, so we are not going to guess at the sound of the album beyond what the singles show.

The tour picture

A North American tour has not been announced. The band have said they have shows planned in Europe and South America in 2027, but we are not publishing dates until the venues and ticket pages are confirmed. We will add them to the gig guide when they are.

Listen

The album artwork, with the date and the label on it, is already live on Apple Music. "Make It Easy" is streaming now on all services.
