Do any of you guys listen to the band Cheekface? I like them a decent amount (not as much as TMBG, though).
I’ve always found lyrically, they have some of the same vibes as They Might Be Giants (if a bit more consistently dark), the vocals somewhat remind me of the Johns (in that it wouldn’t necessarily have mainstream appeal, yet makes the song better), but the music itself is a bit different. (Funny enough, they did a cover of Ana Ng, though I’d say it is only okay.)
I love “We Need a Bigger Dumpster”, partly because of its rambling.
