    They Might Be Giants’ Glean captures the first part of their epic 2015 Dial-A-Song year. From the folk-pop majesty of “Answer” to the manic violin-driven “Music Jail, Pt. 1 & 2” to the bluesy bass-grind of “Underwater Woman,” Glean is uncompromising in range and unrelenting in quality; this is a must-have set of tracks.

lyrics

Time stopped
When you said hello
When you left
The clock began to breathe again
Now all I do is think about
The puzzle that remains
Your name it is unpronounceable
Distorted and illegible
I never figured out what that was
If I couldn't then I doubt I ever will
Rewind the tape, review the blur
Never the same, but still obscure
Turn up the sound and hear the white noise
Zoom and enhance if that were even a
Real thing
Which it isn't
Stare at the static long enough you'll
Be hypnotized be hypnotized
Now I spend
My days and nights
Looking at
A depression on the sofa
And over time it flattens out
But I am still depressed
Your name it is unpronounceable
Distorted and illegible
I never figured out what that was
If I couldn't then I know I never will
Rewind the tape, review the blur
Never the same, but still obscure
Turn up the sound and hear the white noise
Stare at the static and be hypnotized
Found
Found your sound
Wound down and nearly drowned
Lying on the ground
Your name it is unpronounceable
Distorted and illegible
I never figured out what that was
If I couldn't then I know I never will
Rewind the tape, review the blur
Never the same, but still obscure
Turn up the sound and hear the white noise
Stare at the static and be hypnotized
