Really digging #milwaukee band Stock Options. Come for the instrumental Post-rock, stay for the sludge.

It’s a real breath of fresh air when you put yourselves into the hands of a band as committed to the details as Stock Options. Ancient Bloom may not be as digestible a release as some of the other landmark releases put out this year, but the level of craft here shows that we’re dealing with a band that’s just beginning to bloom. Here’s hoping that people are listening. 8/10
