Description
Originally released in 2012, Aesop Rock's sixth studio album Skelethon was a milestone in his career. After a 5 - year gap since None Shall Pass and the closure of his former label, it became his first solo release on Rhymesayers Entertainment and his first self - produced album. The album title, a blend of'skeleton' and 'telethon', reflects the long - standing adversities Aesop faced. Across 15 tracks, he digs deep into themes like death, distrust, insecurity, and isolation, with touches of humor and hope. Standout tracks include 'Zero Dark Thirty' with its fast - paced beats, 'ZZZ Top' as an ode to youth, and 'Cycles to Gehenna' with its haunting production. Skelethon was lauded for its detailed storytelling that combined abstract imagery and concrete details, and its immersive production with sample - based beats, dusty pianos, distorted guitars, and psychedelic synths. It remains a fan and critical favorite. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, we present a limited - edition 3xLP vinyl package. It comes with a gatefold jacket with new art, printed sleeves, a 4 - panel insert with full lyrics, two cream & black marble vinyls, and a UV - printed ultra - clear bonus disc with four exclusive tracks.

Using this vinyl set is easy. Just place the vinyl on your turntable and gently drop the needle on the groove to start enjoying the music.
