Music: Hip-Hop Subtle w/ Facing New York and Clue to Kalo

  • L_1358ec8818e3bc2e1cbc809b5918a79d_event_full

Oakland's Subtle doesn't cross genres so much as melt away 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 has 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 already unveiled a nutty Henry Darger-esque website.
