  • Bio

    ..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-micd honest to genreless music... .. Not to be missed, 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 Subtles works of song complete themselves. .... .. ....NEW SUBTLE ALBUM!........'ExitingARM'.. OUT NOW................ .. .. ..The new ..Subtle.. album ....ExitingARM ....is out now worldwide. It's an amazing conclusion to their trilogy of albums and has been getting great reviews worldwide... even some in Japanese that our distributors assures us are excellent. .. ..The band have just completed another very successful US tour and are gearing up to hit Europe in July.
