Beck Joins Cage The Elephant On New Song “Night Running”
Beck and Cage The Elephant announced a co-headlining summer tour earlier this year, and now they have a song together. We’ll get to the song momentarily, but first, about the tour: Did you know Spoon are also playing those shows? All involved parties should be hyping that up more! Really sweetens the deal.
Anyway, the new Cage The Elephant song featuring Beck is called “Night Running.” It’s on Cage The Elephant’s upcoming album Social Cues, and it finds the band exploring unexpected sounds. After a snappy initial blues-rock riff introduces the track, a heavy reggae rhythm and Beck’s vocals enter the frame. The sound-clash sound doesn’t clash with Cage The Elephant’s riff-rockin’ ethos as much as you might expect, and Beck feels closer to his Odelay sweet spot than we’ve heard lately.
Listen below.
