The Turtlenecks is the only known release by The Turtlenecks, a band fronted by John Flansburgh and his then-girlfriend Julie Kantner, before the formation of They Might Be Giants.

The EP was posted on Bandcamp in 2015 by Julie Kantner, who notes that the songs were recorded in 1981 in their dorm room at Antioch College.

Trivia[edit]

  • "Indiana Wants Me," "Spin Art" and "Mr. And Mrs. Enormous" are included in the Bandcamp full EP download, though they're hidden from the tracklist on the store page. While the "Indiana Wants Me" was originally listed on the store page, the other two were quietly added to the download (including for past purchases) in the years after the EP went up.
