Check out this great composer interview with Aesop Rock, who is featured in the latest interview over at Popmatters! Aesop (aka Ian Matthias Bavitz) talks about how he feels about the composer title and what’s next for him. His Bushwick score is out now via Lakeshore Records.
The director also serves as co-composer with Jeff Herriott, and the smooth, ersatz-’70s soul songs they contribute — recorded by vintage artists like The O’Jays and Butch Tavares, and heard mainly on car stereos throughout. – Hollywood Reporter

“Just like the artist raps, Bushwick is both busy and precise, commanding full attention. That his production blends in so well with the film is an accomplishment. Better yet that it holds up so well on its own. As always, Aesop Rock’s music flourishes under scrutiny.“ – Jay Balfour, Pitchfork
