Cage the Elephant will release Dying In Reverse on February 5, 2027. The Kentucky band announced its seventh studio album this week and put out “Make It Easy,” which it played on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on November 3. The new record follows 2024’s Neon Pill and is the band’s first full-length release for Big Loud Rock.
If the album title already rings a bell, there’s a good reason. “Dying In Reverse” was out as a song before the band announced the album of the same name. EA included it in its September announcement for the FC 27 soundtrack, after “Beaches In Tennessee” had introduced the band’s new music that summer. The first glimpse of the record could therefore have come from a summer single, a football game or a late-night performance, depending on where you were paying attention.
Where the singles land on the record
All three songs sit on the first side of the LP. “Influence” opens the record, then “Make It Easy” and “Beaches In Tennessee” arrive back to back. “Wound Up” separates them from the title track at number five. That order makes the newest single the first familiar song on the album for anyone who has kept up with the releases. Side two starts with “Cherry Cola” and closes with “Wear The Daylight.” None of the three advance tracks appears on that side.
Neon Pill also put its title song near the front, in third place after “HiFi (True Light)” and “Rainbow.” The difference this time is that the album sequence brings three songs from separate points in the rollout into a short stretch. Anyone who has only heard the FC 27 track can go back to the top of side one in February and hear what changes when it follows “Wound Up”. The two singles placed together near the start give returning listeners a different way in.
The official store lists a black LP, several colored pressings and standard and signed CDs. The black vinyl and standard CD carry the same 12 songs in the same order. Some signed LPs come with an autographed insert, while the signed CD includes a signed booklet. Those are packaging differences, so fans who want the songs have a straightforward choice between the standard formats. The advance singles tell us quite a bit about the first half of the record already. For listeners following the releases in order, the flip to “Cherry Cola” is where the album offers its longest stretch of unfamiliar titles.
