Little is known about this group of musicians, except by their constantly annoyed
neighbors and ecstatic liquor store managers.

Swerving madly between heartbreaking drones and hair-pulling freak-outs,
Thousands' music is a study in total freedom.  Freedom from expectation, from
convention, from memory and regret.

With literally days worth of music recorded, it is finally time for some of this
inspired music to hit the stereos of the world.  Phantom Limb is proud to be one
of the labels that will usher in this new age of sound.

Prepare to join the Thousands.

NEW THOUSANDS jamz available

Pig Cooks Pig

NNF090  OUT OF PRINT!!!

This California beard-commune have been
jamming at a furious pace since forming
back in who knows when. Featuring a
rotating cast of VxPxC-ers, Antique Brothers, and other East LA psychedelicates, Thousands
are limitless in their instrumentation, enthusiasm, and willingness to trek into the deepest
deserts (both literally AND metaphorically) to excavate/achieve the perfect chemistry of
tattered clatter and tripped vibes. On Pig Cooks Pig they turn in two side-long monsters of
conceptual cop contempt, loose Mansonian lore, and fried pork psychosis. Greasy slabs of
wasted guitar and synth smoke twirl on sticks above a pit of simmering campfire flames,
loping drums creepy-crawl over murmuring voices and pitch-black hippie grooves. Bold,
boundless, and broasted. Purple tapes in silkscreened art-flaps with printed labels.
Hand-numbered edition of 72.

Skinless/Boneless

ASR009

"With their releases finally catching up to
their prolific back catalog of recordings,
this Los Angeles collective crosses many
lines in this, their first tape for Abandon Ship.
"Skinless/Boneless" weaves together dreamy
shoe-gazer lines with pummeling hardcore and an
ominous sense of something gargantuan approaching.
Creatively known as a supergroup, Thousands is more of an intersection of crystal spheres,
harmonizing vibrations from six hearts and minds. More than a sum of its parts, the music of
Thousands is a new birth, a raging infant older than its apparent age."
- Grant Capes

C60 Edition of 100. Available at www.abandonshiprecords.com

overflow'd & gush'd out

foxglove 163

when the curtain opens on the lone figure at
the head of the stage as he blows his harmonica,
hoping to conjure spirits from the layers of dust
on the floor. wailing vocals light the balconies and
waft their way toward the smoky heavens of the lushly decorated ceiling. thousands is the
sister of the mighty (VxPxC), but this extended family vision is a much larger beast. on
"overflow'd & gush'd out," thousands are six. disjointed melodies reclaim the horizon from
fractured guitar lines and sporadic drum blasts. thousands move like a machine across the
landscape, sucking up everything in their path, inviting it all in to join in their revolt. rebelling
against what? that's not all that important when it sounds so damn good. 100 copies
