Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Unpeeled' was released in January 2017, Cage the Elephant had established themselves as a prominent force in alternative rock following their commercial breakthrough with 'Tell Me I'm Pretty' in 2015. This album marked a shift towards a more acoustic-driven sound, allowing the band to showcase their versatility and depth as musicians while stepping back from their typically frenetic stage presence.
