With the return of their Dial-A-Song service, the band have been posting a new track and accompanying music video every week to unanimous exclamations of joy from fans old and new. In celebration, the band release 'Glean' via Lojinx in Europe. It includes 16 songs direct from these first weeks of their Dial-A-Song service. The range of these recordings is truly staggering. From the manic violin-driven 'Music Jail, Pt. 1 and 2' to the bluesy grinding of 'Underwater Woman,' 'Glean' comprises some of They Might Be Giants' most vital work of their 30+ year career. With the album, They Might Be Giant's sound is in equal turns as rocking, surprising, effervescent, and truly original as they have ever been. The highly anticipated album is produced with long-time collaborator Pat Dillett (St. Vincent, Mary J. Blige, David Byrne, Donald Fagen, etc), and comes hot on the heels of 2013's fan-favourite 'Nanobots'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lojinx","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50471080165707,"sku":"391335","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Clear w\/ Red Whisps","offer_id":53302227992907,"sku":"R1654-7296","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3d0b5a4c-69b5-4c27-b478-4ccce4cc2d85_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727390649"},{"product_id":"i-like-fun","title":"I Like Fun","description":"\u003cp\u003eThey Might Be Giants is back!

On their upcoming album The World Is to Dig (due April 14th, 2026 from Idlewild Recordings), the multi- Grammy- winning duo continue bouncing through the pop multiverse, digging into whatever they find with playful zeal. John Linnell and John Flansburgh continue to fire ideas off one another like particles in a perpetual motion experiment, each collision producing a new angle, a new melodic left turn, resulting in tracks packed with esoteric references, mischievous details, and left- field detours. Untethered from trends, immune to nostalgia, and equally ready to draw from Tin Pan Alley theatrics and contemporary pop culture references, The World Is to Dig is the sound of a band very much in motion; not chasing relevance, but generating it on their own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idlewild","offers":[{"title":"LP - Mustard","offer_id":56712746074443,"sku":"R0386-2332","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":56712746107211,"sku":"R0386-7852","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56712746139979,"sku":"R0386-0718","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0738582017061.jpg?v=1772813080"},{"product_id":"they-might-be-giants-live-at-kexp-seattle-record-store-day-black-friday-2026-us","title":"Live at KEXP Seattle - Record Store Day Black Friday 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Record Store Day Black Friday release is scheduled for \u003cstrong\u003eFriday, 27 November 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick \u003cstrong\u003eNotify Me\u003c\/strong\u003e for an alert when it becomes available online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTMBG performed live at the KEXP Seattle studios on June 16, 2025.
