They Might Be Giants - John Henry Demos

Limited edition orange vinyl LP together with a 7" vinyl pressing

A collection of demos from They Might Be Giants' fifth album, John Henry. The collection consists of full-band studio demos of every song from John Henry presented in album order, with the exception of "Stomp Box" (which did not have a demo recorded).

"Years back, through 'a secret experiment in human happiness,' we included a download of the demos to the John Henry album. The recordings were made with Patrick Dillett and an evolving live band over a few long session days at Brooklyn's Excello Studios. Upon reflection, it seemed the quality of the work really called for a proper release. So now a proper, full-length album is finally available." — They Might Be Giants
