WP_Query with 2 genres

Question

I'm working with a custom post type and trying to get a query working that includes 2 genres (a custom taxonomy).

I have this, which works for a single genre (I don't want to display the widget currently being viewed in the list, the 'post__not_in' takes care of that).

$myposts = new WP_Query( 
    array( 
        'post_type' => 'widgets', 
        'post__not_in' => array($wp_query->post->ID),  
        'genre' => 'styleA' 
    ) 
);

But I'm having trouble when I try to make a list that includes 2 genres.

I've tried various versions of this:

$myposts = new WP_Query( 
    array( 
        'post_type' => 'widgets', 
        'post__not_in' => array($wp_query->post->ID),  
        'genre' => array('styleB', 'styleC') 
    ) 
);

Everything I've read in the Codex seems to use a syntax like this, anyone know where I'm going wrong?

Much appreciated.

Something along these lines should work:

$myposts = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'widgets', 
    'post__not_in' => array($wp_query->post->ID),
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'genre',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array( 'styleA', 'styleB' )
        )
    )
) );

I'm not sure if you need to add 'relation' => 'OR', after line 4, so try it with/without that (i.e. before the 'tax_query'... line).
