  Hello! You've somehow been coerced into visiting the Blank Squirrel Musics interweb site; we're a tiny label dedicated to releasing irritating and unprofitable music, specifically music by Decomposure at this point. Go ahead and read up what this is all about, and then maybe go buy some things! Subtlety - check.
 Vertical Lines A Update Several metric tonnes of reviews and coverage have dumped on Decomposure lately, although he has been busy and has neglected to inform you. He is very sorry. Most notably, the Alternative Press features Decomposure as one of the '100 Bands You Need To Know' in the April 2008 issue. Popmatters' Mike Schiller recently published a long and embarrassingly nice review as well, noting 'Vertical Lines A deserves all of the accolades that could possibly be thrown at it.' And so much more. Read more reviews here. Posted by Myself on March 21st, 2008 You fall forever, but you'll never make it 'Vertical Lines A' just debuted on CMJ's RPM charts at #24, which isn't too bad considering the album came out, um, last May. And since you're here, you may as well check out this post from The Walrus about the album. Posted by Myself on January 24th, 2008 This is a Showdown, a throwdown Hey, a few more reviews for VLA trickled in recently: one from 'Drowned in Sound' that hates Decomposure passionately, and one by Chris Dahlberg at 'Cosmos Gaming' that does not.

A sample: 'The tracks are detailed, elaborate and built with a shocking concern for precision that will force anyone who peeps the song screenshots (of an unknown music software) to rethink what they believe to be work ethic when it comes to track composition. There are so many layers to each song and so many things taking place that it is easy to get lost between the cascading waves of melody and rhythm slapping across your ears from the speakers. Each tune manages to be simultaneously distinct and vague at the same time. It is clear that this is meant to be taken as a total body of work, listened to within the intimacy of your headphones from beginning to end.' Read More here. Posted by Myself on December 15th, 2007 Fluxblog Review 'Decomposure's new album comes in elaborate hand-made packaging, with a booklet of thick, torn pages that alternate between abstracted patterns of short black lines and dense blocks of tiny words that loosely correspond to the vocals on the record. It's ideally suited to the music -- austere but worn down, aloof and willfully oblique yet eager to communicate.' (read more...) Posted by Myself on December 10th, 2007
