During their fruitful career, They Might Be Giants have taken an odd man out p.ov., catchy tunes with wordplay and meshed it together to create songs fans both know and love. John Flansburgh and John Linnell find musical inspiration from everywhere, referencing things from the British Invasion to Tin Pan Alley. They enhanced this wide range with their mysterious touch; the faintly avant-garde aesthetic of their self-titled debut in 1986, reflected their time in New York’s post-punk underground. With favorites like Lincoln, They Might Be Giants built a massive university fan following, and with successes like major-label debut Flood, it easily made them one of the most favored alternative bands before grunge. Later in the 90’s, the band followed a path of a fuller, rock angled sound on their albums such as John Henry, but their creativity expanded to their clever early takeover on the internet as a way to connect with and distribute music to their fans. The 2000s and 2010s sent them into thrive-mode, with a well-received push into soundtracks and children’s music. Here Come the 123’s won a Grammy, while Here Comes Science was nominated for one — as well as praised albums for their adult fans which included Join Us (2011), Glean (2015), and Book (2021).
