    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

Do you think there's somebody out there
Someone else who's better than the one you've got?
Well there's not, there's not
When I talk you keep looking away from me
'Cause you probably think that I'm high on pot
But I'm not, I'm not
Look me over, I'm the Cap'm
You say it's such a joke
But I don't see you laughing
People seem to think you can't be called the Cap'm
Unless you drive a boat
Well, I don't, I don't
Look me over, I'm the Cap'm
Go ahead and mess with me
You'll find out what will happ'm
Sit beside me at the helm
Yeah, this is what I call the helm
And this button here is the fast-forward button
Did you say what I think you just said
My hat looks good on me?
I agree, I agree
Look me over, I'm the Cap'm
You act like it's a joke
But I don't see you laughing
People seem to think you can't be called the Cap'm
Unless you drive a boat
Well, I don't
I don't
I don't
I don't
I don't
