SUBTLETIES
Posted by andyleclair | Filed under Music
Subtle is a band that makes music that I really enjoy. I recently acquired a copy of their new album, ExitingARM, and it’s been on heavy rotation. Their latest album is a blend of hip-hop, avant-garde electronica, pop, and indie rock. They use layers of dense sound to create otherworldly pop soundscapes, telling the continuing story of Subtle’s main character, HourHero Yes. I’ll admit, this album is the first I’ve heard of Subtle, so I don’t really know much about the story going on here, save that the main character has basically fallen into an evil alternate world and is kept captive, writing perfect pop songs without the use of the word “I.”
Bizarre, I know, but it’s all part of the charm. I have to admit that I have a thing for sprawling musical epics, though. I used to really enjoy Coheed and Cambria (yes, take away all of my cred), but Subtle’s got something really cool going on here, instead of a ludicrous sci-fi monstrosity that hasn’t really gone anywhere.
I like this. It sounds so different and unique. I hope Subtle makes it to Boston so I can tell them how much I enjoy this album in person.

I just updated to WordPress 2.6 today in anticipation of a major site overhaul this weekend (+ new posting!).
Everything looks good on this end. If you see anything, leave me a note.
MIXA+

I’ve just gotten back to Maine today from my lovely Pennsylvania vacation, and what do I see on one of my favorite places on the whole wide internet? Mixa! I think that this is pretty cool, but I don’t think that it’s cool enough. My idea: take a 1-gig mp3 player, add the slidy-functionality (or find one with slidy-ness) and then package it into a cassette adapter, thus allowing for your Mixa+ to play through a real tape deck!
Thoughts?
