Today Cage the Elephant shared this performance of ‘Rubber Ball’ from their upcoming new LP ‘Unpleeled’ which sees the band do different versions of previously released tracks in a live setting with acoustic versions. These were recorded on the band’s ‘Live & Unpeeled’ tour across the U.S. The band with Kentucky origins, is known for wild loud raucous shows which we’ve seen in person on the Nights We Stole Christmas and Lollapalooza, so see them softer and more intimate is a solid shift yet one they appear to be doing gracefully as ever. The album due out on this Friday is 21 tracks of reworkings of previous songs with covers of The Stranglers’ “Golden Brown” and Daft Punk’s “Instant Crush”.
Here is another track off ‘Unpeeled’ called ‘Whole Wide World’ which is cover of Brittish new wave artist Wreckless Eric
