Brooklyn’s finest, Grizzly Bear finally make it to Dublin. Last November they had to cancel their Whelan’s date and remaining European tour dates due to the theft of their backline in Brussels. Since then they have been the recipient of the Foggy Notions Album of the Year 2006 accolade for their second album, Yellow House (Warp Records), as well as huge love from the likes of Pitchfork and the New York Times.
“One of the year's best records.” - Pitchfork 9/10
“One of the most significantly original excavations of pop music of the last decade” - Foggy Notions
“It's like wandering through Brian Wilson's mind on a clear day in 1967. Yellow House isn't an album to dip into; instead you dive in and sink to the bottom, at once drenched in emotion and uplifted.” – The Guardian 4/5
“The production is more sophisticated, the arrangements more intricate, the melodies and harmonies more complex...” – Uncut 4/5
“Grizzly Bear become a necessity of their own.” – Sunday Times 4/5
“This excellent and diverse record deserves to reach an audience beyond those already seduced by similarly eclectic contemporaries (and near neighbours) Animal Collective and Sufjan Stevens.” – The Times 4/5
Number 5 Album of the Year – New York Times

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.
