Witchcraft, for you (and everyone else, too):
New Aesop Rock album with a full album-length video recreation of The Shining to go along with it.
Definitely check out Lotta Years, Blood Sandwich, Get Out of the Car, and Kirby.
Those are a few favorites of mine, but the whole damn album is great.
Water Tower, too. Just listen to it all.
As soon as the sequencers started spitting out a rainbow of notes during Rings, I was hooked. Excellent shit!
A lot of the songs have lyrics that I can relate to on a personal level, which made me feel like An Old. I'm especially partial to the second half of Rabies:
Ice over bittersweet nightshade
Antlers rise from his migraine
Shred or die, life's strange
How do you identify?
New with the matutinal or peckish with the vespertine
Me, I'm pretty useless
Til the roof is painted Gemini, then set him free
Eat his own body weight in genocide
Came back a decorated dog of war
Who wants more though he currently stuck in the dog door
Additionally, dog isn't even his final form
Just a period, between greenhorn and Hyperion
Peer into the eye of a primordial experience
Portamento warriors in unforgiving wilderness
Borderline ethereal, Noah's Arc room tone
Add a little up high down low too slow
Found acquaintances a pain to babysit
So he gave away his shit and gave 'em all the slip
Now pets hit the ceiling when the wind blows
Fish float belly up songbirds crash into windows
Swizzle apple cider vinegar and dish soap
Suicide flies take dips in the kill zone
Still shuffle thru a stack of old photos
Taken before the varicose verified Chronos
I dunno it feels weird
I'd rather feed an apple to a deer
