Indestructible Object is the sixth EP by They Might Be Giants, released through Barsuk Records on April 6, 2004.
The EP's title comes from a famous work by Man Ray, also known as Object to Be Destroyed. "Am I Awake?" was the theme song for the TLC series Resident Life. The tracks "Memo to Human Resources" and a different version of "Au Contraire" are featured on the band's tenth studio album, The Spine, which was released three months later. The track "Ant" is a re-recording of a B-side from two of their 1990 singles (" Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" and " Birdhouse in Your Soul"). " Caroline, No" is a cover of the Beach Boys' song of the same name from their 1966 album Pet Sounds.
All songs written by John Flansburgh and John Linnell, except where noted
