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 enjoy Talking Heads. I only know CAKE for "The Distance", which I do enjoy.

From what I've listened to of Cheekface, I really enjoyed the lyrics. Honestly, lyrics are also half of why I listen to TMBG.
