CAGE THE ELEPHANT ‘s third full-length album, Melophobia, will be released next week – but you can hear it now, thanks to Rolling Stone.

Completed earlier this year, Melophobia picks up where 2011′s Thank You Happy Birthday left off, as the band continues to forge its own niche in the alternative/rock world.

One listen through and this sounds like another stellar effort from the Kentucky lads, especially the track It’s Just Forever, which features a guest spot from Alison Mosshart of THE KILLS.

CAGE just finished opening some tour dates for MUSE, but it’s probably safe to expect more dates soon.

Here’s the record.
