New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In the many months spent creating and then promoting their summer hit record Join Us, They Might Be Giants recorded several new tracks, not all of which made it onto the album. The band has compiled the best of these recordings to create a brand new full-length, made up of rarities and many previously unheard tracks. An eclectic follow-up to their latest LP, Album Raises New and Troubling Questions is out now alongside Join Us on Idlewild Recordings.
"After 30 years, They Might Be Giants retain the virtues that have endeared them to everyone from indie-favoring hipsters to the preschool set… "
- USA Today ***
"They Might Be Giants is a band that simply loves making music, something that still excites them after almost 30 years."
- Billboard
"As nerd culture and popular culture have become virtually indistinguishable, TMBG is nobody's secret; for proof, ask just about any kid."
- NPR
