Originally released in 2012, Skelethon marked asignificant moment in Aesop Rock's career as it wasthe first album entirely self-produced by Aesop Rockhimself. This allowed him to have complete creativecontrol over the sound and feel of the album,resulting in a cohesive and intricate sonic landscapethat perfectly complemented his dense lyricism. Thealbum's soundscapes are built around gritty,sample-based beats with dusty pianos, distortedguitars, haunting and psychedelic synths, and otherunexpected samples weaving in and out of eachtrack. Overall, the production has been widelypraised as a major strength of the Skelethon albumdue to his ability to create a vivid and immersivelistening experience, but without his commandingvocals, the beats are allowed to take on a life of theirown.In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Skelethon,we've pressed the Skelethon Instrumentals on vinylfor the first time ever!
