John Henry Demos

~ Release by They Might Be Giants (see all versions of this release, 3 available)

Annotation

From Bandcamp

Years back, through "a secret experiment in human happiness," we shared a download of the demos to the John Henry album. The recordings were made with Patrick Dillett and an evolving live band over a few long session days at Brooklyn’s Excello Studios. Upon reflection, it seemed the quality of the work really called for a proper release. So now a proper, full-length album is finally available.

This album is available exclusively from Idlewild Recordings and will not be sold elsewhere and will not be posted to streaming sites.
