Surprise and free album from Aesop Rock? Yes, please! Well, free-ish, it was available for a couple of days, before the files were replaced with 'buy now' link. "I Heard It's A Mess There Too" is fun, approachable and surprisingly catchy. It takes me back to the backpack rap era - not the Def Jux style, but rather the more funky, boom-bappy hip-hop. Apparently the whole project started off as a one-line that couldon't leave Ian's head, and slowly evolved into this fully fleshed out project. Dope.
