Oakland's Subtle don't cross genres so much as melt the differences between them. The Anticon associates draw on acoustic instruments (cellos and drums) and processed beats to create an unusual sound, equal parts post-rock and hip-hop. Celebrated MC Doseone tucks his surrealistic flow into the mix and earns his fans' adoration with energetic performances. Subtle have suffered serious setbacks in recent years — particularly the car accident that paralyzed keyboardist Dax Pierson — but they're back with a new album, ExitingARM, for which they've unveiled a nutty Henry Darger-esque website.
