Unbelievable Shenanigans (Instrumental) Aesop Rock’s production on Black Hole Superette marks some of his most spacious, emotionally resonant beatmaking to date. He’s begun shifting away from his earlier, maximalist style toward airier, atmospheric soundscapes built on crisp drums and synths. Across the album, the drum programming balances late‑’80s boom‑bap attitude with modern cyber‑funk punches. Meanwhile, Aesop layers minimal yet expressive textures—from glitchy synth stabs and foggy pads to jittery melodic fragments—creating moody backdrops reminiscent of sci‑fi noir but rooted in hip‑hop’s rhythmic tradition. This instrumental version of Black Hole Superette provides a compelling journey through cinematic, futuristic trip-hop.
