Aesop Rock - Integrated Tech Solutions (Instrumentals) (2024)

The instrumental version of Aesop Rock’s critically acclaimed Integrated Tech Solutions album. Appropriately, the album sounds like the past and future at once. Largely self-produced, save one track produced by Hanni El Khatib, the Integrated Tech Solutions instrumentals catch Aes at his leanest and most innovative, leveraging Mindful Solutionism's careening bounce against the wistful “By the River” or the slow creep of “Salt and Pepper Squid.” The effect is a record that sounds itself like an organism growing, mutating, hurtling toward sustainability—and then destruction.
