"Melophobia" is the third studio album by Bowling Green, Kentucky, alternative rock band Cage The Elephant. Recorded at St. Charles Studio in Nashville, Tennessee and once again produced by Jay Joyce (The Wallflowers, Patty Griffin), the album was released last week through RCA Records.

Melophobia means "fear of music"; the band did not view the term literally, but rather thought of the term as "a fear of creating music to project premeditated images of self, like catering to cool, or making music to project an image of being intellectual or artistic or poetic, rather than just trying to be an honest communicator."
