Portuguese Knife Fight

Cage the Elephant recently released its most relevant album since the self-titled debut in 2009 with "Tell Me I'm Pretty." The album has a strong theme, a great groove and is all together very listenable and enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the closer, "Portuguese Knife Fight." It is short, to the point, and has a great rhythm.

Anyhow, I have several photos to share. As always, to purchase these head to www.smugmug.com/MorrisonCountyRecord.
