Aesop Rock - Skelethon

been too long since we heard from him, here's the first single:

Very nice.

I'm not listening to any preview tracks, no singles, no nothing, until this album gets in my hands. I am a huge Aesop fan and I am willing to wait for this album.

none shall pass was amazing, bout time he got around to a new solo LP.

You guys didn't hear his 2011 album under Hail Mary Malon? It was a collab album with Rob Sonic.

Who's going to produce it, himself?

Please let it be El-P.

I've gotta say I miss the self-produced Aesop. Things have changed a lot since Appleseed and Float. I'd be interested in hearing something that goes back to his older, simpler style...perhaps.

i read this is produced by himself.

This is very exciting and completely unexpected for me.

That album's great, and the Breakdance Beach video is hilarious

The new El-p record is getting some love on the board, so I figured I'd post this here too.

Probably my most anticipated release at the moment. That and the new converge record.

Aesop is the fockin' man! Love all of his releases. Generally his crew is fockin' great too.

My favorite Hip-hop artist by far

I haven't liked anything Aesop has done since Float and Daylight, does this make me a bad person?

I miss Blockhead + Aesop.

Nothin' wrong with that... But man... I'm sure gonna miss that duo as well :(

I though he was getting more "IDM" with his last releases though.

A little less polished than I was expecting, a lot of live instrumentation chopped up and sampled. Really not that far off from his last solo LP.

I'm enjoying this one more. I tend to find the production too "samey" on NSP, whereas I find the beats more varied on Skelethon, or at least the sounds. NSP just kind of blurs into one for me. The only song I think I might end up skipping is Racing Stripes. I also think it's a lot better than the El-P record, which is just uninspired compared to ISWYD.

i feel the same way. actually, i feel like that for almost all rap music

a 55 minute preview? what it is, the entire album?

Did you listen to it?

Can't find the vinyl anywhere in the UK (checked bleep/boomkat/amazon etc..).

Rhymesayers is a small label, give em a couple of weeks. Or you could import, as us yanks do on a regular basis:
