'By The River' by Aesop Rock is literally an ode to the alt-rap icon's favourite water source, observing its comings and goings like a fisherman patiently waiting for a prize catch. Uniquely intricate and turning the ordinary into something low-key spectacular, he waxes lyrical about wildlife and wayfarers over a relaxed stretch of jazzy hip-hop.

The latest track from the 'Integrated Tech Solutions' album out in November, 'By The River' is out now on Rhymesayers.
