the cd version comes in a 4 panel mini-lp style gatefold package. 'thing' is a wreckage of sorts. the project was originally commissioned as a sci-fi, horror adaptation of 'romeo and juliet'. when funding for that project fell apart, trans am forged on with their own album. to capture the feeling of exhaustion and paranoia demanded by 'thing', trans am remained at their recording studio until the early morning, occasionally exiting to run up and down the hills of san francisco. all vocals were recorded during recovery from these sessions. 'thing' is the first trans am studio album since 2007's 'sex change' and follows right after the band's almost sold out double lp and dvd live collection 'what day is it tonight?'.
