Nearly three decades after their first collaboration, Aesop Rock and Blockhead reunite for Trouble Mountain, an album exploring escape, survival, alienation and the absurdities of everyday life. Inspired by nostalgic Poconos resort commercials from their childhoods, the album turns family history, work and memory into vivid reflections on the search for reinvention. Blockhead's evolving production complements Aesop Rock's inventive lyricism, revisiting themes that have connected their work since Labor Days. Guest features include Hanni El Khatib, Open Mike Eagle, Cavalier, 4-Ize and Baby Dayliner.
