Integrated Tech Solutions – Aesop Rock (LP)
$30.00
From Wikipedia:
Integrated Tech Solutions has been characterized as a “loose concept album” that explores technology and consumerism.[5][6][7] It also features narratives inspired by Aesop’s own life experiences,[8] leading the album’s prevailing mood to be described as “reflective”.[5]
Lead single “Mindful Solutionism” discusses the history of technological advancement, including its harms.[5][6] Conversely, the album’s second single – “By the River” – features “soft percussion and a jazzy horn” and explores Aesop’s appreciation of rivers and his memories of deceased friend Camu Tao.[7][8] “Living Curfew”, in which Aesop and featured artist Billy Woods describe the feel of cities at different times of day, includes production that has been likened to trip hop.[5][7] “Aggressive Steven” tells the story of Aesop’s encounter with a home invader and reflects on society’s treatment of mental illness;[5][7][8] other storytelling tracks are more lighthearted, such as “100 Feet Tall”, in which Aesop recounts a childhood experience meeting Mr. T at a restaurant.[5][7] “On Failure” is a spoken word track in which Aesop considers the life and legacy of Vincent van Gogh.[5][7]
