In collaboration with Scottish artist David Shrigley, Tomlab gathered a diverse selection of musicians and bands from the unknown to the legendary to receive a copy of Shrigley's his debut, LP-sized book of song lyrics. Many were already familiar with David Shrigley’s work, and some are among his most devoted fans. Those who did not know of his work instantly fell in love with his quirky drawings and words. All of the artists wished to join this collaboration and delivered their stellar songcraft! During the process of the collaboration, Shrigley found perhaps the best words to describe the strong enthusiasm present in the project: “Now we have opened the can of worms we have to deal with the consequences.” 
 
The can now counts 39 worms – all exclusives! With contribution from David Byrne, Franz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, Liars, Trans Am, TV On The Radio, Scout Niblett, Aidan Mofatt (ex-Arab Strap), Islands, Final Fantasy, Grizzly Bear and many more.

Tomlab will be releasing Worried Noodles (which includes 39 tracks, 104 page hardcover book, black & white illustrations and lyrics) on October 23.
