In 2002, I discovered I loved experimental post-rock and I tried to consume as much of it as possible. After I nearly overdosed on Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed! You Black Emperor, I came across 65daysofstatic. I’ve been in love ever since. Where Godspeed! has epic on lock and Explosions has cornered the market on melodic, 65days covers all of the area in between. The newest album by 65days, Escape from New York, is a good follow-up to their previous endeavors. This album is live, and captures a performance that DJ ensembles like Autechre or Aphex Twin wish they could produce. The album is gritty, industrial, and electronic, but  tempered by softer sets of percussion and piano. The overall effect is something you could work out to, listen to on a rainy day, or even write that overdue thesis paper to. Two thumbs up. - Chris Gaughan
