Cage The Elephant — Beaches In Tennessee
Played: 2026-07-30
"Beaches In Tennessee" was released 13 July 2026 as Cage The Elephant's first new music in two years, kicking off what the band calls a "new chapter." The song documents frontman Matt Shultz's two-month stay in a psychiatric hospital, drawing directly from that experience. Shultz has spoken openly about the hospital stay in multiple interviews — telling NME "we realised there's still room to evolve" — and the lyrics detail his journey through mental health treatment. The track was accompanied by an interview where Shultz discussed his YouTube search history, Oasis fandom, and an on-stage fall story. It's the first single from the band's upcoming seventh studio album.
