Looking to get kicked out of your apartment? Or trying to get your significant other to leave you? Then, crank this loud avant-free-jazz rocker up, y'all! THE THING was (dammit, they broke up in 2019) an epic Swedish/Norwegian heavy jazz trio inspired by heroes from late-Coltrane and early-Ornette to Ayler and Brotzmann. I saw them once in St. Louis, and I still can't sleep. Fantastic! If everything above sounds intriguing (or better yet, good), then this slab of noise is for you. - Roger Stolle (Cat Head)
