New Aesop Rock (Feat. John Darnielle) Video - "Coffee"

Aesop turned some heads with his match-up of lyrical heavyweights cut "Coffee" from this year's None Shall Pass (pulling a last minute verse from Mountain man John Darnielle) and it's another round of neck-twisting here with the track's 'tis-the-season clip. Director Ace Norton goes for Shaun Of The Dead undead extras served with a gory side of grindhouse, a step or two from Robert Rodriquez's Planet Terror. (More video trend spotting: Grindhouse inspired clips are so now; see also Queens Of The Stone Age's "3's & 7's.") We don't need no walkie talkies. Happy Halloween, from Aesop Rock and John Darnielle.

Zombie dance! Believe in your dreams. None Shall Pass is out via Def Jux.

I saw Aesop Rock at the ottobar in baltimore a month ago, Mountain Goats were in town that same night and John Darnielle came out and sang his verse of this song on stage....very cool but I dont think most of the audience knew who and how awesome he was.

sweet album he put out, glad the video had that extra verse. Plus, who can argue with zombies? Nobody, or you get your brains eaten out.
