Cage The Elephant – Melophobia [SMOKEY CLEAR]

Cage the Elephant has explored the nooks and crannies of blues, soul, punk, and rock. Their first two albums were often described in terms of what had influenced them classic indie-punk like the Pixies and the Stooges instead of the originality of their own music. But on ‘Melophobia’ the band made a concious effort to avoid those trappings and even shut their ears to as much recorded music as possible.
