They Might Be Giants has made a new album and collaborated with two extraordinary artists to create a remarkable book project to accompany it. It is called BOOK and we are accepting PRE-ORDERS for it now. The first edition printing is a book with a CD inserted, and there will also be standalone audio releases on vinyl, CD, and now a cassette version of the project! All formats arrive with a download of the album and you'll get I Lost Thursday right now.
What kind of book is BOOK? Well, it’s a 144-page full-color, hard-bound book of original work by celebrated Brooklyn photographer Brian Karlsonn and lyrics selected from our brand new album BOOK, I Like Fun, My Murdered Remains, and a new ancillary musical product called The Pamphlet EP, all set in layouts that might be best described as something like poetry concrete by graphic design superstar Paul Sahre. Sahre actually typed up all the lyrics by hand on an IBM Selectric typewriter from the early 1970s and, with all the imagination and style Paul typically pours into his design work, they are beautiful and singular. http://tmbgshop.com/
