They Might Be Giants Release 'The World Is to Dig' Album and Share 'Get Down' Video

They Might Be Giants have released their new album “The World Is to Dig”, marking their first full-length since “BOOK” (2021).

The album is available across multiple formats and presents an 18-track collection developed through the duo’s ongoing creative collaboration.

“The World Is to Dig” was created through a process in which John Linnell and John Flansburgh developed ideas independently before shaping them together into a unified work.

According to the band, the album reflects a continued approach centered on experimentation and a flexible creative structure, resulting in a body of work that maintains internal cohesion while exploring different musical directions.

The track “Get Down” has been released as the focus song from the album and is accompanied by a video directed by Paul Sahre.
