    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

Like a ghost writer's ending
She will send you down
She's in love
With her broken heart
She's in love
With the dark
She's in love
With her broken heart
She's in love with the dark
I'm getting tired of all my nautical dreams
I'm getting tired of all my nautical themes
Bustin' my pirate hump
Rockin' my peg-leg stump
My mind naturally turns to taxidermy
To taxidermy, yeah
Bashes, crashes, smashes to pieces
Bashes, crashes, smashes to pieces
Bashes, crashes, smashes to pieces
We're taking over
We're taking over
I looked around
And you looked around
And soon we were there
Leading the charge of the wrong
Of the wrong
Of the wrong
Of the wrong
Rusted, incrusted, combusted, and dusted
Rusted, incrusted, combusted, and dusted
Rusted, incrusted, combusted, and dusted
We're taking over
We're taking over
Back in command of the out of control
All over town
Putting them all in the ground
In the ground
In the ground
In the ground
No more sunlight, please
