you might be asking yourself “is this a different world?
are they really there?” thank your lucky stars!

you might be asking yourself “what happened to this world?”
but they’re not ashamed
they can not be tamed

Why is the world in love again? They Might Be Giants' album I Like Fun is here.

What's the deal with this new album? It's 15 songs packed with surprises and vitality all from the startling point of view of TMBG. 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. Sonically adventurous with a bold combination of live instrumentation and electronics, 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.
