Cage The Elephant and Beck Share Music Video For 'Night Running'

Last week, Cage The Elephant released their fifth studio album, Social Cues, on RCA Records. Fans can purchase the album HERE. Featured on the record is a song with Beck, entitled "Night Running," and today they debut its music videodirected by Jennifer Juniper Stratford. "For 'Night Running,' I wanted to create a realm where a super computer that hosts a simulation program creates a series artificial worlds," said Stratford. "While Beck would appear to live within the software as a master control, Matt would be transported to different worlds and new identities leaving him to question what is real."
