IDLEWILD RECORDINGS

They Might Be Giants is an alternative/indie rock band that was formed in 1982 by John Linnell and John Flansburgh. With a unique sound and quirky lyrics, they quickly gained a dedicated following. Initially accompanied by a drum machine, the band later expanded to include a backing band in 1992.

The current backing band members include Dan Miller on guitar since 1998, Danny Weinkauf on bass since 1998, Marty Beller on drums since 2004, and [brass player] who joined in 2017.

Over the years, They Might Be Giants has had several former backing band members including Eric Schermerhorn (guitar), Jay Sherman-Godfrey (guitar), Graham Maby (bass), Hal Cragin (bass), Tony Maimone (bass), Dan Hickey (drums), Brian Doherty (drums), Jonathan Feinberg (drums), and Kurt Hoffman (keyboard and woodwinds).

They Might Be Giants' album Lincoln. Available here on Transparent Red Colored 180 Gram LP.

Cutting away some of the artier aspects of their debut, They Might Be Giants craft another wildly eclectic and geekily fun collection of alt-pop with Lincoln. In general, the album displays greater musical ambition than its predecessor, especially since the duo have trimmed many of the weirder excesses of the debut. Without such arty trappings, their gift for irresistible pop hooks becomes all the more clear, with "Ana Ng," "Purple Toupee," the Latin shuffle of "The World's Address," "Santa's Beard," the surprisingly affecting "They'll Need a Crane," and the lounge jazz of "Kiss Me, Son of God" standing out among the 18 songs. And when They Might Be Giants don't go for the hooks, as on "Pencil Rain" or "Cage &amp; Aquarium," they prove to be expert musical satirists, which means that Lincoln is every bit as infectious as the debut.
