The Cream And The Method Gives They Might Be Giants A Taste For The Wu Tang

17/2/2026

They Might Be Giants
Wu Tang
Brooklyn

The famous New York district of Brooklyn is made even more relevant by the continual premium output of They Might Be Giants. Surely in past tense by now, the huge geek rocker group are really drawing out the moment by making us wait until April. The 18-track record The World Is To Dig will be on all the streaming sites and available from their shop. The Sword Style Shaolin Kung Fu art form associated with the Wudang Temple, westernised to Wu Tang, not only inspired the classic rap group, but it has also brought about a whole new ethos of flashy, snappy, slashy, lyrical styles. Taking this cutting philosophy to their own kind of sound, They Might Be Giants present their latest single. Half in celebration of the phenomenal rap group and half in the art of martial lyricism themselves, their Wu Tang throws a whole new light on the subject.

A climbing guitar melody strums out before the classic vocals begin. The music bops into a fast and choppy manoeuvre that gives the vocal a mattress to bounce on. A slight distortion lends the guitar a punky sense of vibrancy that hits quick-stepping melodic progressions. The vocal is a kind of love song to the hip hop icons, it adopts the poke and jab, with parry and stride, as the words fly out in melodic and structured motions like Kata in Karate. Their black belt performance and memorable exhibition makes sure that we’ve got plenty to enjoy for the next seven weeks. Then, The World Is To Dig.
