Things That Play Themselves

Things That Play Themselves is the second studio album by noise rock band King Snake Roost, released in 1989 by Aberrant Records.

Release and reception
Critic David Sprague of the Trouser Press called the record a "feverish disc" that warrants comparison to early Pere Ubu.
