'none shall pass' finds def jux mc / producer aesop rock, relocated to san francisco, celebrating the start of his third decade, but still rocking the sour-tongued delivery and soc ial conscience that he's been rocking since day one. the title track is undoubtedly the standout, a mist of emotive synthesiser, scratching, and ambient, oceanic guitar that sees aesop threatening to 'break the walls of jericho'. but more than any of his previous albums, 'none shall pass' finds aesop eager to branch out. sure, there's def jux labelmates rob sonic and el-p, who rocks the faders on the slamming 'gun for the whole family'. but there's also 'coffee', featuring a vocal from john darnielle of the mountain goats, and 'pigs', a hidden track built from hand-claps and raw, bluesy guitar.
