Description
For Aesop Rock, the phrase "I heard it's a mess there too" started out as a lyric, but it didn't take long for that line to get it's hooks into him. It felt familiar, like a line he'd said a thousand times in recent years while checking in with friends across different cities, swapping stories about where each other are, and what's going on there. The more he sat with the phrase, the more it started to feel like the center of something bigger. I Heard It's A Mess There Too lives at the intersection of two personal urges for Aesop: the need to venture out and document your surroundings, and the desire to stay connected-especially when things feel uncertain.
Musically, Aesop Rock explores some new territory on the album. "I'd been building tracks the same way for many years," he says, "but I made a conscious shift in my process here. I tried out some new tools and attempted to make my beats cleaner, more minimal. The drums are more stripped back, the bass lines are allowed to just sit, without layering ten things on top. I didn't want the beat and the vocals competing for attention-I just wanted enough to get a wave rolling and not much more, just setting a mood I could move to." These twelve songs mark different stops along that path of tinkering and looking for something new.
