It's no secret that the American eclectic collective They Might Be Giants have followed their own path without having to compromise with anything and anybody, throughout their longstanding career, as they do still in these days.

John Flansburgh and John Linnell, have always loved to create music pastiches that take inspiration from the spur of the moment, rather than planning ahead records that could be of a conceptual nature or a more pidgeonholed one, by privileging instead what it spoke to them instinctively, throughout all the different decades that Linnell and Flansburgh have been making music together.
