The Escape Team is a concept album, made in collaboration with long-time TMBG music video collaborator David Cowles, based on fictional characters from his original comic book of the same name.[3]

In the year prior to the album's release, songs from The Escape Team were released as part of They Might Be Giants' 2018 Dial-A-Song series. Each song was released with a music video animated and directed by Cowles, with the exception of "The Poisonousness", which was directed by Ajax Digital Design.
