They Might Be Giants Share Epicly Dark Animated Video By Joren Cull
By: Caryn Robbins Jan. 17, 2018
They Might Be Giants will release their new full-length studio album I Like Fun physically and digitally this Friday, January 19. Jumping with surprises, vitality, and the startling point of view of songwriters and band founders John Linnell and John Flansburgh, the album draws on themes of dread, death, and disappointment set to driving, hyper-melodic music. Their hilarious and ultra-dark video for album title track "I Like Fun" embodies this epic dichotomy. Created by well known illustrator and animator Joren Cull, the "I Like Fun" video debuted with Uproxx today and is available to post/share HERE.
TMBG has launched a fan video contest for lead album single "I Left My Body." All entries to be submitted by March 1, 2018. Winners will be announced shortly after that and the winning video will be posted on dialasong.com as well as TMBG's YouTube channel. 1st place winner receives $3000. 2nd and 3rd place winners each receive $1000. All 3 winners will get a suite of free software from Red Giant. All judging will be done by the great Open Mike Eagle. Full details here.
