I Like Fun

They Might Be Giants

Fifteen tracks of hyper-literate power pop grappling with mortality. Sharp guitar hooks and warm production mask a deep, pervasive sense of existential dread.

Find on Amazon

It's a catchy power-pop record about how we're all eventually going to die, but in a fun way.

A sophisticated blend of high-energy power pop and deep, mid-life existential anxiety.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring, distorted guitar riff that opens 'Let's Get This Over With' setting a cynical tone.
The haunting, layered vocal harmonies in 'I Left My Body' that create a sense of physical detachment.
The sudden, chaotic horn blast in 'McCafferty's Bib' that disrupts the steady rhythmic pulse.
