They Might Be Giants’ new music and art book project BOOK will be released November 12, 2021. The band just made an appearance on PBS News Hour Weekend where they discussed the epic new project as well as their nearly 40-year career.
The band shares new single “Part of You Wants to Believe Me”, a bouncy pop track that showcases the band’s renowned witty wordplay.
BOOK has already pre-sold 10,000+ copies and the project has been making radio waves. Explosive dance floor rocker “I Can’t Remember the Dream” spent 4 weeks in the top 7 of the SubModern Tracks Chart including back-to-back weeks at #1. It is also #25 on the NACC Singles Chart. The project finds TMBG expanding their own worldview through multiple mediums while continuing to refine their songwriting craft. A 144-page full-color, cloth-bound hardcover book and brand new full-length album, the project was born through a series of brainstorms with longtime collaborator and graphic design legend Paul Sahre when they decided to team up with Brooklyn street photographer Brian Karlsson.
In addition to the book of BOOK, there will also be standalone audio releases available on vinyl, CD, and even cassette. BOOK on Tape! A very limited production of 8-track tapes sold out instantly. All formats come with a download of the album.
