For over thirty years, two-time Grammy Award winners They Might Be Giants (John Linnell and John Flansburgh) have been releasing one-of-a-kind music that spans indie rock, children’s music, television soundtracks, and more. “The Johns” come to Google to discuss their 20th studio album, I Like Fun, as well as 2018’s revival of the band’s now-legendary Dial-a-Song service, which fans can call to hear a new track every week of the year.

They Might Be Giants’ new album I Like Fun is out today!

Over a year in the making, songwriters and band founders John Linnell and John Flansburgh draw on themes of dread, death, and disappointment and set them to their driving, hyper-melodic music.

Fresh and sonically adventurous, the band’s command of the studio and the song is in rare form from beginning to end.

I LIKE FUN OUT 19th JANUARY 2018

FEATURING I LEFT MY BODYLISTEN NOW

TMBG’s DIAL-A-SONG RETURNS FOR ALL OF 2018

Oh my god, They Might Be Giants is underrated. That’s the best band of all time. Better than the Stones, better than the Beatles, better than Oasis, and better than Crosby, Stills and Nash. – Open Mike Eagle, Pitchfork “Over/Under”

Why is the world in love again? They Might Be Giants has announced the release of I Like Fun, a remarkable 15-track album to be available physically and digitally on 19th January 2018.

I Like Fun jumps with surprises, vitality, and the startling point of view of these Brooklyn originals. Over a year in the making, songwriters and band founders John Linnell and John Flansburgh draw on themes of dread, death, and disappointment and set them to their driving, hyper-melodic music. The results will leave even the most heavy-hearted among us with a renewed sense of wonder. Fresh and sonically adventurous, the band’s command of the studio and the song is in rare form from beginning to end.

On I Like Fun, the spotlight is also on the band’s formidable long-standing live lineup; drummer Marty Beller, bassist Danny Weinkauf and lead guitarist Dan Miller. While the group enjoys a reputation for delivering one of the liveliest shows around, the album accomplishes the rare feat of capturing that ecstatic intensity on disc. Co-produced with and mixed by Patrick Dillett (St. Vincent, Donald Fagen, The National, Mary J. Blige), the album was tracked and mixed at the brand-new Reservoir Studios—site of the legendary Skyline Studios where TMBG recorded their platinum-selling album Flood.

2018 will also see the return of TMBG’s Dial-A-Song service, with weekly instalments toll free at www.dialasong.com, and on streaming sites everywhere, featuring new music all year long!
