They Might Be Giants released their 16th album having perfected their deliriously catchy, original sound over the past three decades. The two-time GRAMMY winning Brooklyn duo have returned with charming wit, electrifying pop melodies and just enough bass clarinet on their new studio album. Created at the private studio of their long time collaborator and producer Patrick Dillett (David Byrne, Mary J. Blige among the others), the album was released via Idlewild Recordings and distributed through Megaforce.
As TMBG highlight in their press release the title track “Nanobots” puts a dark cartoonish spin on the world of technology while the call and response chorus and percussive guitar line of “You’re On Fire” dares even the grumpiest wallflower not to dance and “Call You Mom” is a caffeinated pop gem.
They Might Be Giants’ innovative Dial-A-Song service and imaginative high concept, low budget music videos stood the band apart early in their career quickly rocketing the alternative rockers to mainstream success. Known for their energized live show and love of the road, the band kicked off a 60-date international tour on February 27.
