They Might Be Giants have perfected their deliriously catchy, original sound over the past three decades. The two-time Grammy-winning Brooklyn originals return with charming wit, electrifying pop melodies and just enough bass clarinet on their 16thstudio album. Created at the private studio of their longtime collaborator and producer Patrick Dillett (David Byrne, Mary J. Blige, Tegan and Sara), Nanobots will be released March 5, 2013 via Idlewild Recordings and distributed through Megaforce.
 
Nanobots finds the band in fine form. The title track “Nanobots” puts a dark, cartoonish spin on the world of technology while the call and response chorus and percussive guitar line of “You’re On Fire” dares even the grumpiest wallflower not to dance. Blending the band’s signature storytelling, some dueling horns and sly humor, “Call You Mom” is a caffeinated pop gem.

They Might Be Giants’ innovative Dial-A-Song service and imaginative high concept, low budget music videos set the band apart early in their career and quickly shot the alternative rockers to mainstream success. Known for recording numerous themes ~ most notably that for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and the Grammy-winning “Malcolm in the Middle,” the band has 2 platinum albums, 2 gold albums, and have been nominated for 3 Grammys, winning two. Known for their energized live show and love of the road, the band will kick off a 60-date international tour on February 27. Lucky fans in NYC will have several chances to experience the band’s explosive live show once more in 2012 at their three sold out New Year’s shows at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. Stay tuned for more from They Might Be Giants coming soon!
