[MUSIC NEWS] THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS Announce New Album

Today, Brooklyn legends They Might Be Giants proudly announce the arrival of their highly anticipated new LP, The World Is to Dig. The 18-song album arrives› April 14 in all formats at TMBGshop.com and on streaming services; plus an exclusive 180-gram vinyl colour variant will be available at indie retail shops on April 17. This is the band’s first full-length album since 2021’s Grammy-nominated BOOK, and the project blends sharp songwriting and bold experimentation into a refreshingly original collection.

The album’s lead single, ‘Wu-Tang,’ is out now. While the song’s lyric celebrates the power of Wu-Tang Clan over a fan as a transformative force, TMBG’s trademark melodicism sweetly buoys the listener along with waves of ‘60s-style pop hooks.

John Linnell says, “Many years ago, we discussed the idea of celebrating an artist or a style of music, but in the form of a completely unrelated genre of music. The original idea was a Tin Pan Alley-style song extolling the greatness of heavy metal. ‘Wu-Tang’ was written more or less along those lines, partly inspired by their TV biopic, but void of any musical reference to the great hip-hop collective. Are we fans? Sure! Would we ever attempt to emulate their sound? Not publicly.”
