Alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants return with the release of their new project, the Eyeball EP, on all streamers and in the TMBG download store. The EP features the title track “Eyeball,” alongside “The Glamour of Rock,” and the instrumental “Peggy Guggenheim,” which spotlights the horn section blasting off in full throttle – cinematic enough to score a movie chase scene. Rounding out the project is a reimagining of “Eyeball” from remixers The Elegant Too.
“It’s a fantastic thing to watch a band enjoying themselves by doing exactly what they want to be doing.
It’s what keeps fans like me coming back over and over again.” – Consequence
“TMBG and friends attacked each song live,
with exquisite, off-beat harmonies and pile-driving rhythm as their guide.” – Magnet Magazine
“Kudos to They Might Be Giants for continuing to mix things up.
Beloved hits and countless deep cuts? Two nights weren’t enough.” – Milwaukee Record
“They Might Be Giants has never fit comfortably into a musical genre.
From their start, childhood pals John Flansburgh and John Linnell have done things their way.” – SPIN
This blast from the present is just a warm-up round for They Might Be Giants’ brand new, all-banger album coming this spring.
John Linnell says, “Our favorite way of making albums is to write and record too many songs and then arrange the ones that work together as an album. We always have a bunch of good tracks left over to make an EP. I’m sure there’s some exact equivalent process that goes on in the kitchen of a fancy restaurant, but I’m just guessing here. Anyway, these are the ‘amuse-bouche’ or perhaps ‘amuse-oreille’ tracks that we hope will be an enticing appetizer before the next album emerges from the oven.”
They Might Be Giants have also announced new spring dates for their highly anticipated 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, andWoodstock.

Each live show presents a memorable, ever-evolving selection of fan favorites and deep cuts spanning the band’s dynamic catalog – from original pop-rock classics that dominated the early alt-rock scene to bold, horn-driven tracks that showcase TMBG’s knockout arrangements and on-the-fly improv skills.
