TMBG's 5th Children's Album on 180g Rainbow Splatter Vinyl!
At last! TMBG has returned to the world of kids stuff! It's a fantastic set of 18 new songs called Why? What kind of album is Why? Well, it's not bad for you, but it's not good for you either. It's just about fun, like TMBG's first kids album No! Why? is memorable songs in family-friendly package with none of that pandering aftertaste.
Like previous TMBG kid productions, it's a family affair with John Flansburgh's wife Robin "Goldie" Goldwasser singing a couple of tracks, while bassist Danny Weinkauf, joined by his daughter, steps up to the mic for the song "Elephants." Alison Cowles, the daughter of longtime video animation collaborator David Cowles ("The Mesopotamians," "We Live in a Dump," "Science Is Real") has contributed all the illustrations for the album. Right out of the gate TMBG hits the listener with the odd brilliance of "Oh You Did" through the folkie charm of "Out of a Tree," the full rocking of "Or So I Have Read" the perky "I Just Want to Dance," and wrapping things up with the optimism of "Then The Kids Took Over." Why? has everything to delight both kids and parents.
