Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant performed on "Austin City Limits" during a pivotal time in their career, showcasing their evolving sound. The performance featured the song "Come a Little Closer," which is from their critically acclaimed album "Melophobia," released in 2013. This recording came after the band had solidified their presence in the alternative rock scene with their earlier work, including their self-titled debut album and "Thank You, Happy Birthday." Notably, "Melophobia" explored themes of introspection and self-discovery, a contrast to their earlier, more exuberant sound. By the time they released their subsequent album, "Social Cues," in 2019, they had matured both musically and lyrically, tackling deeper emotional themes, including personal loss and mental health. Their appearance on "Austin City Limits" exemplifies their dynamic stage presence and how they have connected with audiences, further establishing their reputation as an influential live act in the contemporary rock landsc
