Why?

They Might Be Giants

Eighteen short bursts of intelligent, horn-flecked pop. A children's record that respects a child's intellect while keeping the melodies impossibly bright.

November 27, 2015 · Not On Label (Dave Kurtis Self-Released)

A bright, intellectually stimulating celebration of curiosity and the small details of everyday life.
