Mink Car

They Might Be Giants

A glossy, eclectic mix of synth-heavy club parodies and signature accordion-pop. Existential dread wrapped in the shiniest production of the band's career.

September 11, 2001 · Idlewild Recordings

Find on Amazon

A high-gloss existential crisis that you can occasionally dance to.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from acoustic strumming to a full-blown club beat on track 3.
The way the horns punctuate the absurdity of the lyrics in Cyclops Rock.
The delicate, almost fragile vocal delivery on the title track's jazz-inflected arrangement.
