Ben Baptie produced alongside the band, and Nick Bockrath's string arrangements give familiar favourites a new emotional weight without smoothing away their character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCigarette Daydreams becomes even more wistful wrapped in strings, while the songs from Tell Me I'm Pretty reveal how sturdy Matt Shultz's melodies are once the distortion is gone. The band also slips in three inspired covers, Wreckless Eric's Whole Wide World, Daft Punk's Instant Crush and The Stranglers' Golden Brown, each one sounding as if it belonged to them all along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-one songs give the record plenty of room to roam, and the live setting keeps everything warm and a little loose, with the kind of hush that only happens when a crowd is truly listening. Hearing these songs slowed down and opened up shows just how much craft was hiding under all that noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a rewarding side of a band usually known for chaos, and a lovely way to hear their songwriting up close.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57165863878961,"sku":"889854281915","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Cage_the_Elephant-Unpeeled_2LP.jpg?v=1793186067","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/cage-the-elephant-unpeeled-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
