This blog has been pretty dead for quite a while so I thought I'd put something new up so we don't always have to see Dave Chapelle's (Chappelle? Chappele? no idea really) face when we come to the blog. 

So anyway, I wrote this article for a webzine I write for called decoymusic.com and thought I might as well share it with you guys. If you're a fan of instrumental/post-rock music then this should be a decent read. The article is mainly about some of the lesser known releases of the genre this year plus some of the bigger records we didn't review on the site.

I'd like to mention that the article in it's entirety can be read at here with much more detail. I didn't post the entire article because I didn't want to piss off any scroll wheels. And for one last shameless promotion, if you want to read up on other releases from this style of music, you can read my reviews at here.

Anyway, here we go!
