Brooklyn legends They Might Be Giants have announced the arrival of their highly anticipated new LP, “The World Is to Dig”. The 18-song album arrives April 14 in all formats at TMBGshop.com and on streaming services; plus an exclusive 180-gram vinyl color variant will be available at indie retail shops on April 17. This is the band’s first full-length album since 2021’s Grammy-nominated “BOOK”, and the project blends sharp songwriting and bold experimentation into a refreshingly original collection.
Following the release of the album’s lead single “Wu-Tang”, They Might Be Giants have now dropped “Sleep’s Older Sister” from the new record exclusively as a download via their webstore: TMBGshop.com
They Might Be Giants move into some new territory with a dreamy slice of neo-psychedelia with “Sleep’s Older Sister.” As our heroes ponder the imponderables, they meet up with Sleep’s older sister to guide them across the River Styx into the great beyond. TMBG’s renowned rhythm section, featuring Marty Beller on drums and Danny Weinkauf on bass, creates an original bed for the track, with some unexpected turns and a chaotic ending.
On the heels of two years of sold-out touring, They Might Be Giants will also be heading back out on the road this spring with THE BIGGER SHOW TOUR. Kicking off on April 17, TMBG will be hosting multi-night stands across the East Coast and Midwest in Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Woodstock. Tickets for all shows are on sale now and can be purchased here. Multi-night passes and preferred rates at local hotels are available in select markets.
Each show of a multi-night stand will be unique from the night before. Working with a stellar eight-piece band featuring a three-piece horn section, They Might Be Giants performs in the “An Evening with” format; that means there is no opener. Instead, the band will spotlight a different album from their catalog each night in their first set and then play all the fan favorites along with delightful deep cuts in the second. Sprawling, enthralling, unpredictable, and endlessly entertaining – THE BIGGER SHOW TOUR is an evening of unforgettable songs, dazzling arrangements, startling improvisation, and genuine positivity. It is an experience unlike any other.
