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.

TWOFER TUESDAY
Posted by andyleclair | Filed under Uncategorized
Last night I saw the absolutely fantastic Cut/Copy live at the Paradise Rock Club here in Boston. Needless to say, I was completely blown away. They played all of the tracks I wanted to hear: Lights & Music, Hearts on Fire, Out There On The Ice, and an encore of Far Away.
The openers were Black Kids and Mobius Band, although I missed out on seeing Mobius Band due to some… business I had to take care of with the girlfriend. Black Kids were a lot of fun and had really good energy and I really enjoyed their set, but the show didn’t get going until Cut/Copy took the stage.
As soon as they came on, they had the whole crowd wrapped around their fingers, getting even the most self-obsessed hipster trash to jump and move. I honestly haven’t danced that hard since I saw Justice at the same venue.
In honor of the fabulous show Cut/Copy put on, I’d like to take this time to post a twofer of a fresh Cut/Copy remix by the amazing Midnight Juggernauts, and a tasty remix from The Twelves of Black Kids first single that’s been making the blog rounds recently.
Cut/Copy - Hearts on Fire (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)
Black Kids - I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend to Dance (The Twelves Remix)
