Aesop Rock
Spirit World Field Guide (clear)
Aesop Rock loves critters. Since his conscious turn toward storytelling on None Shall Pass, he's become quite the
zoologist, using pigs, crows, and his pet cat, among other animals, as muses. His fixation runs so deep that when he
isn't observing creatures directly, they're still in his peripheral vision: He partners with Homeboy Sandman as Lice;
his second album with longtime collaborator Rob Sonic was titled Bestiary; a Dali-esque dinosaur skeleton graces the
cover of Skelethon. On Spirit World Field Guide, this fascination with creatures widens into a cosmology. Animals no
longer play bit parts in Aesop Rock's intricate tapestries; they are the omphalos, a turn that leans into Aesop's
wearied misanthropy and softens it. This is the most joyous album he's ever made.
