The duo return with their first full-length since ‘BOOK’ and announce new dates for THE BIGGER SHOW TOUR
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.
