<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:black">September 4, 2014— </span></i><b><span style="color:black">Cage The Elephant</span></b><span style="color:black"> released a haunting and beautiful video today for
<b>“Cigarette Daydreams,” </b>one of the most beloved songs on their new album, <i>
Melophobia. </i>Acclaimed director Mark Pellington worked closely with Matt Shultz on the project, and together they created a moving portrait of the song's true meaning featuring a very special guest.
<b>Mark Pellington</b> is best known for his work with the likes of Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, U2 and acclaimed films, including
<i>Arlington Road</i> and <i>The Mothman Prophecies</i>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Mark Pellington said: <i>“A murder mystery? A love story? Real life madness? “Cigarette Daydreams” is an ambitious music video/short film inspired by real events and fictional images. It is a fractured, hallucinatory
love story hatched by myself and lyricist singer Matt Shultz. A tale of madness and mystery, the dark but melancholy story follows a young woman (Juliette Buchs, the real Ames Shultz) coming to terms with her past and her future.
<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:black">Perhaps a search for a love by a woman trying to outrun her past? Ambiguity abounds as the film is a psychologically-fragmented story of yearning, memory, and desire. It counterpoints images of innocence and
danger and revolves around a tour de force performance by the Parisian trained actress Juliette Buchs.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The video was first tweeted out by Patrick Carney of The Black Keys this morning, and currently can be seen on YouTube,
</span><a href="http://CageTheElephant.com" target="_blank">CageTheElephant.com</a><span style="color:black"> and on </span><a href="http://TheBlackKeys.com" target="_blank">TheBlackKeys.com</a><span style="color:black">. Earlier this week, the band released
four exclusive teasers to the Instagram accounts of <b><i>Nylon</i> and <i>NylonGuys, Consequence of Sound,
</i></b>and<b><i> Pure Volume.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Starting tomorrow, <b>September 5<sup>th</sup></b>, the band will embark on a nationwide arena tour country with
<b>The Black Keys</b>. See full routing below and </span><a href="http://www.cagetheelephant.com/tour/"><b>PRESS HERE</b></a><span style="color:black"> for more information.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Additionally, Cage the Elephant, arguably one of the best live bands around today, have now captured their blistering live show in the form of their upcoming release- <b><i> The Live EP</i>.</b> The 5-track collection
was recorded at the band’s concert at <b>The Ogden Theater</b> in <b>Denver, CO</b> on
<b>May 17<sup>th</sup></b>. It will be released digitally on <b>October 7<sup>th</sup> 2014</b> via
<b>RCA Records</b>. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color:black">The Live EP </span></i></b><span style="color:black">features live recordings of the bands hit single “Shake Me Down,” and tracks from their critically-acclaimed third album
<b><i>Melophobia</i></b>: “Cigarette Daydreams,” “Spiderhead,” “Telescope,” and the No. 1 alternative hit “Come A Little Closer.” They have had a huge summer playing almost every major US festival including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Lollapalooza, always
coming out the other side as one of the must-see acts at the festival. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

</i></b>(Bonnaroo)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:center">
<span style="color:black">“Matt Shultz owned the stage like the love child of Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop, dancing spastically and shirtless while the band tore through an exuberantly punky and danceable set -- "Spiderhead," "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" and
"Cigarette Daydreams" included -- that had the crowd giddily jerking back and forth to the beat.” –

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:center">

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:center">
<span style="color:black">“But if any day took the cake, it was Saturday. Cage the Elephant, this year’s most anticipated performance at Bonnaroo, had Firefly fans equally eager with a crowd stretching far off into the field. For one, no other performance had
as many crowd surfers flying through the air—and so constant, too. For an hour, those security guards were given a run for their money.” –

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:center">
<span style="color:black">“Oddly, the more raggedy the arrangement, the more effective Cage the Elephant becomes. All the more reason for Shultz to crawl on all fours and finish face-down, splayed out onstage.”
