I'm betting my left nut that Kimya will be on there

[AbramIsaac]

I'd wager your right nut that you're right!

Just checked his Twitter, looks like the album is being mastered Friday. This was posted on a Friday though, so I'm not sure if he meant yesterday (said he was home in the AM) or next week.

Either way, the album is just around the corner.

[RKOunion]

Any songs from you recommend? I'd like to get into a new artist.

Btw, congratulations Abram for getting a blue username (whatever that means.)

[AbramIsaac]

None Shall Pass, Fumes, and Daylight are all good places to start. Those are a few of my favorites anyway.

Thanks man, it basically means I'm immortal now.

[AbramIsaac]

Well, the music is done! Humongous thanks to John Greenham for a great job mastering. Here’s a little footage from his SF studio mixed with a giant dog and some other shit –

The album is mastered!

So close...

[AbramIsaac]

Evidently that's the cover art.

The album is coming out on Rhymesayers Ent July 10th.

According to RSE, all of the production is done by Aes himself this time. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I'm sure it will be interesting. Probably somewhere between None Shall Pass and Bazooka Tooth.

[AbramIsaac]

I'm excited.

I've been an Aes fan for a while. His albums are like abstract art to me. I don't listen to them everyday, but when I throw one on, I feel like I'm appreciating some of the most interesting hip hop out there.

I just wish he'd throw a song out...the link I posted in that quote has a video with one of the new songs playing in the background.

[tomatopie]

can't wait for this (:

[AbramIsaac]

Sweet, another AR fan. There are a few in this forum, but they're all likely in this thread...save for a few cool people, of course.

What's your favorite Aesop Rock album, tomatopie?

it's between Float and Labor Days

[KaZer]

Can't wait for it to come out! Been listening to Labor Days. Can someone PM me link for Fast Cars, Danger, Fire and Knives, also Daylight EP?

[Block]

Zero dark thirty is a great song. The vid is dope as well.

My only concern with the album is that aes always sounds the same. Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan for nearly 10 years, but damn... The most he's gone off course is in his production off hail mary malon.

The lyrics in !ero dark thirty are intense though

[AbramIsaac]

Skelethon has leaked.

Anyone heard it yet?

[Ka0t1c]

i'll definitely give it a listen
