Episode 487: John Flansburgh (of They Might Be Giants)

Seems hard to believe that 40 years into a career of pushing boundaries and taking risks that They Might Be Giants still have anything left up their sleeve. But amidst a global pandemic, when the world is perpetually falling apart at the seams, the band has returned with a new album and accompanying art book. Book (the book) is a beautiful document celebrating Book (the album) with 144 pages of  photography and type-written lyrical art. Most of all, it’s a testament to the fact that a band that’s made a career of making wonderful music staunchly against the cultural grain can still surprise. John Flansburgh joins us to celebrate the release of both and reflect on one of music’s most fruitful collaborations.
