Cage The Elephant Delivers Unreleased ‘Neon Pill’ Track On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

Cage The Elephant came to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday. The rockers performed the unreleased track “Rainbow” from their upcoming album, Neon Pill.

Neon Pill is due out on May 17 via RCA Records. The LP marks Cage the Elephant’s first full-length since their Grammy-winning 2019 album Social Cues.

Produced by John Hill, the sessions for Neon Pill saw the band — frontman Matt Shultz, guitarist Brad Shultz, bassist Daniel Tichenor, drummer Jared Champion and guitarist Nick Bockrath — working in a variety of renowned spaces including Sonic Ranch in Tornillo (Texas), Electric Lady in New York, Sound Emporium in Nashville, Echo Mountain in North Carolina and Hill’s studio in Los Angeles.

Matt Shultz further detailed the new record.

“To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean that in a positive way. Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into finding our own voice. We’ve always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times we’ve even emulated some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing.”

Cage the Elephant has shared four previews ahead of Neon Pill’s release: “Good Time,” “Out Loud,” “Neon Pill” and latest single “Metaverse.” For their Kimmel play, the band delivered the album’s unreleased second track, “Rainbow.”
