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.

In 1989, the album was adopted by Amphetamine Reptile Records and re-issued on vinyl.

All music composed by King Snake Roost, except "Talking Turkey" by Sharron Weatherill.
