What started with "The Grass Is Always Greener" is now "I Heard It’s A Mess There Too". Aesop Rock's quick-witted new album began as a throwaway lyric but built into the framework for twelve new tracks that find him sounding looser, funnier, and more at ease with disorder. Written, produced, and performed entirely by Aesop himself, the shift to a minimal approach is deliberate, allowing room for some serious burnout humour to shine. - Flying Out
For Aesop Rock, the phrase “I heard it’s a mess there too” started out as a lyric, but it didn’t take long for that line to get its hooks into him. It felt familiar, like a line he’d said a thousand times in recent years while checking in with friends across different cities, swapping stories about where each other are, and what’s going on there. The more he sat with the phrase, the more it started to feel like the center of something bigger. I Heard It’s A Mess There Too lives at the intersection of two personal urges for Aesop: the need to venture out and document your surroundings, and the desire to stay connected—especially when things feel uncertain.
