Aesop Rock LIVE @ Amoeba Music SF

Description

Come into Amoeba SF and enter to win a pair of tickets to see Aesop Rock at The Fillmore on July 15th! Enter before noon on Wednesday, July 11th. Only at Amoeba SF!

New York-born, San Francisco-based Aesop Rock (aka Ian Bavitz) is a critically acclaimed hip-hop artist/producer, recognized for his dense and abstract word play. His sixth studio album, Skelethon (out July 10th on Rhymesayers Entertainment), marks the first entirely self-produced album for Aesop Rock, with additional instrumentation and back-up vocals from the likes of Allyson Baker (Dirty Ghosts), Hanni El Khatib, Nicky Fleming-Yaryan, Rob Sonic, and the Grimace Federation, as well as scratch performances provided by long-time friend and collaborator DJ Big Wiz.

Starting off by touching on the death of a close friend in 2008, subject matter wades through subsequent losses, jostled memories, relationships gone awry, and the occasionally amusing, if futile, attempts we make to cope with these things. There is light humor in the darkest corners, juxtaposed with pitch black in the jokes. With Kimya Dawson as its sole vocal collaborator, Skelethon is packed with Aesop's unique handle on interweaving imagery and urgency together in what will surely prove to be the centerpiece of his catalog thus far.

Also catch him on July 15th at The Fillmore!
