Including long-time audience favorites The Mesopotamians, Withered Hope, and Careful What You Pack, THE ELSE weighs in with 13 lucky songs, and finds They Might Be Giants collaborating on production with the Dust Bros. (Beastie Boys, Beck) and Patrick Dillett (David Byrne, St. Vincent, Mary J. Blige). Amongst a number of firsts, this album is the first in which all the songs are over two minutes long and Marty Beller is on the drum throne for the entire album.
This deluxe package includes photography by Marcel Dzama, and the disc is pressed on audiophile 180g vinyl in a color we have been told is called “pumpkin mystery smoke."
All orders include an instant download of the album delivered to your inbox.

lyrics
You know what's wrong with me
You know phrenology
You saw my injury
You can tell just by looking at my skull
Contrecoup, on the rebound
Contrecoup hurt me again
And the second was worse by far than the first
'Cause it made me limerent
When my head was hit
I bounced away from it
Or as someone who is craniosophic would say
The brain went the opposite way
Contrecoup, on the rebound
Contrecoup hurt me again
And the second was worse by far than the first
'Cause the first one woke my feelings for you
But the contrecoup made my words untrue
And it left me limerent
Which is to say, how it goes
Couched in terms no one knows
And as if the choice were slim
As if there's no synonym
You know what's wrong with me
You know phrenology
You saw my injury
You can tell just by looking at my skull
Contrecoup, on the rebound
Contrecoup hurt me again
And the second was worse by far than the first
Though the impulse is strong, the connection is weak
And I know what to say, but forgot how to speak
When it made me limerent
for there first album they kick fucking ass with it the only song i have to complain about is be born besides that everything in this album is gold even released just a friend with it shunterfunny
