Decomposer is the second album by The Matches, released by Epitaph Records on September 11, 2006 worldwide and on September 12, 2006. The band took an unusual approach to the album and enlisted the help of nine producers including John Feldmann of Goldfinger, Mark Hoppus of +44 and Blink-182, Nick Hexum of 311, Tim Armstrong of Rancid and Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion.

Decomposer also marks a vast departure from The Matches' previous strict alternative/punk sound and a growth into a more avant-garde and art rock sound. Additionally, many of the lyrical themes explored on Decomposer were resurrected for their next offering, 2008's A Band in Hope.
