They Might Be Giants - Lazy / Buckle Down Winsocki - 7-INCH SINGLE [7 inch Vinyl Disc]

They Might Be Giants treat the entire history of popular music as a trampoline rather than a rulebook. Like two pinballs pinging off of each other through musical murals stretching into a giddy ether, TMBG moves by ricochet. On their album The World Is to Dig, the multi- Grammy- winning duo continue bouncing through the pop multiverse, digging into whatever they find with playful zeal. John Linnell and John Flansburgh continue to fire ideas off one another like particles in a perpetual motion experiment, each collision producing a new angle, a new melodic left turn, resulting in tracks packed with esoteric references, mischievous details, and left- field detours. Untethered from trends, immune to nostalgia, and equally ready to draw from Tin Pan Alley theatrics and contemporary pop culture references, The World Is to Dig is the sound of a band very much in motion; not chasing relevance, but generating it on their own terms. Album Tracks 1. Back in Los Angeles 2. Wu-Tang 3. Sleep's Older Sister 4. Je N'en Ai Pas 5. Outside Brain 6. Let's Fall in Lava 7. Telescope 8. Garbage in 9. Get Down 10. New Wave Will Never Die 11.

The Toiling Midgets have turned into - what else? - Lazy Giants. The original name, intended without malice or prejudice, hailed from a reality TV show circa 1979, in which an interviewer asked a pair of little-person tycoons about the secret to their success. But times and contexts are different now. So along with issuing an apology for any inadvertent offenses or misunderstandings, the group has officially rechristened itself the Lazy Giants. In certain respects, the new LP, Toiling Days Are Over, enriches a decades-old tradition. Gray fashions meaty but moody riffs from art-punk, glam, and heavy-rock materia prima. Up in the stratosphere, fellow veteran Paul Hood concocts spacey abstractions. Initially recommended by Strokes producer and Hood associate Gordon Raphael, masterful drummer (and noted solo act) Daniel Benyamin applies just enough heat and fastidiousness to the lumbering beats and loose rhythms. A second younger addition, Benyamin's friend Daniel Cerny, weaves in stealthy filaments of synth and clarinet. Toiling Days Are Over is the band's first full-length since the '90s to feature prominent vocals. The music exudes remarkable oomph and consistency despite it's construction at six studios in a quartet of countries. Album Tracks 1. The Dilemma 2. She Is the Rain 3. Bees of Eternity 4. Bearmageddon 1. Proxima B 2. It's Too Late 3. Falling 4. A Tree 5. 1973
