Alternative rock legends They Might Be Giants are back with a brand new project, the Eyeball EP. Available now on all streaming platforms and via the band’s own download store, it serves as a tasty teaser for their upcoming full-length album which is due to land this spring.
The EP features four tracks: the title track “Eyeball”, “The Glamour of Rock”, a horn-driven instrumental titled “Peggy Guggenheim”, and a remix of the title track by The Elegant Too.
Speaking about the release, 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.”
In addition to the new music, the band have announced “The Bigger Show Tour”, which will see them hitting the road across the US this spring for a series of multi-night stands. There is no word on a UK or European leg just yet, but we’ll keep our ears to the ground.
