They Might Be Giants - Book

 

180-gram vinyl

Packaging designed by Paul Sahre

Alt-rockers They Might Be Giants just announced their new project Book, both the title of their forthcoming album and separately, a 144-page cloth-bound art book, out Nov. 12, 2021 via Idlewild Recordings.

For the project, They Might Be Giants worked with longtime collaborator and graphic designer Paul Sahre and Brooklyn street photographer Brian Karlsson.

Book contains 15 songs — which find TMBG expanding their own worldview through multiple mediums while continuing to refine their songwriting craft. Though, as John Linnell notes, some of Book's songs are "humorously germane to the catastrophe going on around us" — like the punchy opener "Synopsis for Newcomers," which concerns itself with "someone who's warning people not to panic" — these 15 songs are classic TMBG, with clever melodies and airtight songwriting that stays in your head long after the final note's been played.
