Factory Showroom

They Might Be Giants

A high-fidelity expansion of the band's eccentric pop, trading drum machines for a full-blooded rock ensemble. Sharp, literate, and surprisingly soulful.

August 8, 1996 · Elektra

A bright, intellectual energy that masks a deeper, wistful contemplation of time and history.
