Working again with longtime collaborator Pat Dillett, they swapped earlier versions of several songs for brisker, more up-tempo takes, and the finished record feels like a band rediscovering its own momentum. The title nods to Ruth Krauss's children's book A Hole Is to Dig, which suits a group that has always viewed the world through slightly cockeyed glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead single \"Wu-Tang\" is exactly as curious as its name suggests, and \"Sleep's Older Sister\" packs plenty into under two and a half minutes. \"Outside Brain\" keeps the pace brisk, while a cover of the Raspberries' 1974 power pop single \"Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)\" shows off their deep love of a big, unabashed chorus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost songs come and go in under three minutes, with sharp hooks and odd little detours tucked into every corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-fourth albums are not supposed to sound this lively, and the sunny yellow pressing suits the mood perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763366887714,"sku":"738582017016","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/They_Might_Be_Giants-The_World_Is_to_Dig_Yellow.jpg?v=1794324077","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/they-might-be-giants-the-world-is-to-dig-yellow","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
