Published

on

Music legends They Might Be Giants have returned with the release of a new live album “Beast of Horns”. Culled from recent touring, this new set of horn-oriented tracks captures the musical glory of TMBG’s expanded live format. Long celebrated for their electrifying shows, here we find the band joined by a virtual murderers row of horn talent with Stan Harrison on sax, Dan Levine on trombone and euphonium, and trumpet superstar Mark Pender (familiar to all from Conan O’Brien’s band). The album boasts 13 tracks including audience favorites “Doctor Worm,” “Museum of Idiots,” “The Darlings of Lumberland.”

TMBG’s Idlewild Recordings will not be releasing Beast of Horns on streaming platforms as a full-length album. Rather it is available on exclusive vinyl record, as a download, and on compact disc available from the TMBG Store and at brick-and-mortar record shops. Music streamers can enjoy a 4-song sampler at the service of their choice.

Also newly available is the 7-inch 45 vinyl featuring “Lazy,” TMBG’s recording of Irving Berlin’s classic 1924 song made in celebration of WNYC’s 100th anniversary as part of the station’sPublic Song Project. The 7-inch is backed with the track “Buckle Down, Winsocki” and is available for purchase here.

The band are also returning to the UK this November 2024 with their ‘An Evening With They Might Be Giants: Flood, BOOK and Beyond’ UK tour. Nine of the twelve dates across the country have already sold out and tickets are going fast for the remaining 3rd of November Shepherds Bush Empire London date and Southampton and Belfast shows, so don’t wait to book!

The shows will include two sets which span early favourites to songs from their new, Grammy-nominated album ‘BOOK’. TMBG’s superlative live band has now expanded to eight, with a three-piece horn section including trumpet virtuoso Mark Pender from the Conan show. This once-in-a-lifetime show is guaranteed to delight!
