Back to Skull

They Might Be Giants

A sharp, eclectic EP blending brassy power-pop with surrealist noir. It captures the band's transition into a full-band sound with jittery, intellectual energy.

Find on Amazon

It's the brainy, brass-heavy 90s alt-rock record you didn't know you needed.

A restless blend of intellectual curiosity and noir-tinged alternative rock energy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, jarring shift into the heavy, distorted groove of Snail Dust
The bright, punchy horn stabs that punctuate the chorus of Mrs. Train
The eerie, underwater vocal effect that opens Ondine before the beat drops
