<\/div>\n

Beck<\/a> and Cage the Elephant<\/a> are setting out on a co-headlining tour this summer, and now it\u2019s got a theme song: Their collaboration \u201cNight Running,\u201d which shares a name with the tour, is the latest single from Cage the Elephant\u2019s upcoming album Social Cues <\/em>(due out April 19th).<\/p>\n

\u201cNight Running\u201d is a thick, sticky tune with a dub-reggae vibe that Cage frontman Matt Shultz and Beck eagerly sink their teeth into, singing and rapping about vampires and x-ray vision. Beck, who co-wrote the song, has been making faded afterparty grooves like this for years, but it\u2019s a newer sound for Cage the Elephant, and they wear it well.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview<\/a> with Rolling Stone<\/em>, Matt Shultz and his guitarist brother Brad revealed that \u201cNight Running\u201d was written years before this album, and that they sparred with each other while finishing it. \u201cMatt was leaving [the studio] early every day, and I got super-pissed and told him he wasn\u2019t trying,\u201d Brad Shultz said. They ended up sending the track to Beck, who sent it back with his verses within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Cage the Elephant and Beck kick off the Night Running Tour in mid-July. They\u2019ll play 30 venues across the U.S. with support from Spoon, plus additional opening sets from Sunflower Bean, Wild Belle and Starcrawler at some dates.<\/p>\n
