This release is currently available exclusively to members of the 2024 They Might Be Giants Instant Fan Club.
Information about some IFC material was originally unavailable on TMBW prior to 2024, but due to the availability of details about these projects elsewhere online, we will be cataloging them going forward in the spirit of remaining an accurate and complete TMBG knowledge base. Per the IFC oath, distributing or requesting IFC-exclusive content is still prohibited.
Beast of Horns is a live album compiling They Might Be Giants performances recorded at live shows in 2022 and 2023 spotlighting songs that feature the Tricerachops Horns, who began touring with TMBG full-time in 2022. The album was first released to members of the 2024 Instant Fan Club via CD, vinyl and download.
Description[edit]
Emails with downloads of the album came with this intro:
Recorded live over the past couple of years, this album documents the expanded 8-piece band finding John Linnell, John Flansburgh, Danny Weinkauf, Dan Miller, and Marty Beller joined by the majestic horns of Stan Harrison, Mark Pender, and Dan Levine.
The album's artwork was designed by Rolf Conant and Elizabeth Connor and uses a 1764 woodcut illustration of the Beast of Gévaudan by an unknown French artist[1] for the front cover. The back cover uses Sea monsters off Norway[2], while the inner sleeve artwork uses Monstrous sea creatures[3], which were both illustrated circa. 1555 by Swedish writer and cartographer Olaus Magnus.
As it has not been referred to as an IFC exclusive, the album should be receiving public release in the future, though similar to projects like The Escape Team and My Murdered Remains it will not be available on streaming.
