The band has now brought back their ‘Dial-A-Song service’ for 2015.

The new tracks are posted via \u00a0Dialasong.com<\/a>,\u00a0the band’s ‘Particlemen\u2019 YouTube channel, and on their free smartphone apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate Dial-A-Song’s return, the band have released a new studio album ‘Glean’. It came out on 20th April, and<\/span>\u00a0includes 16 songs direct from these first weeks of their Dial-A-Song service.\u00a0\u00a0This highly anticipated album is produced with long-time collaborator Pat Dillett who has worked with St Vincent, Mary J. Blige, David Byrne, Donald Fagen, and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Glean’ contains a hugely varied range of recordings,\u00a0comprising of some of They Might Be Giants’ best work of their 30+ year career, and sees the band as exciting and original as ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
