Lincoln

by They Might Be Giants

Lincoln cover art

Packed with accordion, programmed drum machines, and incredibly catchy, unconventional melodies, 'Lincoln' is a foundational landmark of quirky, college-radio indie pop. The two Johns tackle existential dread, surrealist narratives, and bizarre historical trivia with infectious, upbeat instrumentation and tight vocal harmonies. It perfectly balances profound bittersweetness with an unabashed, highly energetic geekiness that became their enduring signature.
