    THE ELSE IS FINALLY BACK ON VINYL!

    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

Girl! Why not take out the trash and once you get him out
Tell him not to come back again?
Girl! Put that cat in the bin after what he said
After everything he did
You had him figured out a while ago and I know it's not exactly breaking news
But it's all been a little like a trial for you and a bunch more talking won't make him true
Ah, c'mon, Girl! Why not take out the trash and once you get him out
Tell him not to come back again?
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the crooked straight. Get the go-getter good and gone
Why, when it's so plain that he's just making it up and he's still got you coming back for more
Why you never, ever think of breakin' it up
Tell me, what bad deal's gonna close that door
Ah, c'mon, Girl! Why not take out the trash and once you get him out
Tell him not to come back again?
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the crooked straight. Get the go-getter good and gone
I'm not saying all the boys are the same
But some boys are the same and it's Thursday now
I'm not saying all the boys are the same
But some boys are the same and it's Thursday now
I'm not saying all the boys are the same
But some boys are the same and it's Thursday now
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
And once you get him out, tell him not to come back again
Girl! Put that cat in the bin after what he said
After everything he did
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
Girl! Why not take out the trash?
Ah, come on, Girl! Why not take out the trash and once you get him out
Tell him not to come back again
Girl! Why not give him the slip?
Get the crooked straight. Get the go-getter good and gone
