Subtle – the alpha band of doseone & jel, the men behind themselves, cLOUDDEAD, 13&god and anticon
Since its genesis in 2001, Oakland-based sextet Subtle has been home-recording its way to the far side of song. Drawing from a diverse palette of instruments: sampler, synth, guitar, cello, winds, electronic and acoustic drums, and the unmistakable voice and prose of Doseone, the band fashions a self-sampled and live-mic’d honest to genreless music.
For Subtle, the last twelve months have been nothing short of life changing. Surviving through and recovering from a terrible tour van accident has led the Subtle 6 to their most adventurous and clear-hearted achievement to date, For Hero: For Fool. The album boldly follows the B-movie dreams and midday terrors of a working-class poet, born of raw raps and the somewhat vacuum times of the last quarter century...
Subtle hits the stage on May 18 for their first ever Irish show – their live performance parallels and elaborates on the complex and natural lengths of their recorded material. With painted backdrops, stage props and a whole lot of middleclass mojo, it is in the midst of live performance that Subtle’s works of song complete themselves.
