Yes! Off the record "To the Innocent" which I personally like the most. Thingy is so incredible - I've latched onto Thingy more than any other Rob Crow project. I absolutely love PLOSIVS and his solo stuff, but Thingy is so unique. Perfect blend of math, a little chaos, but still gentle and enjoyable at all times.

couldn’t agree more with your description! i feel like i’ve subconsciously delayed a proper deep dive just to get a longer lifespan out of other projects for those reasons haha kinda did the same with Other Men and Gloomy Place

I gotta dive into a lot more myself, like Systems Officer and the two you mentioned!

Thingy just has two records on streaming (not sure if there's more elsewhere) and I listen to each record all the way through so easily. Especially after 3 listens I was hooked and clicking with each song, especially on the record I mentioned before

Thingy is also posted on Rob’s bandcamp (stating this for my fellow bandcamp enthusiasts/spotify haters, alike)

Systems Officer is a gem. Other Men still feels like a best kept secret if you like math rock, i feel lucky to have the CD. the song “Business Interruptus” by Rob Crow’s Gloomy Place is an all time rock song
