MUMBAI: Grammy® Award winners Cage The Elephant will release ‘Unpeeled’ worldwide on 28 July via RCA Records. The new album was recorded over a series of intimate shows in cities including Los Angeles, Washington DC, Knoxville, and Nashville where the band performed in a stripped down arrangement with a string quartet and additional percussion. ‘Unpeeled’ features twenty-one tracks: eighteen curated songs from their past four albums plus three reimagined versions of existing songs.
