Subtle - f.k.o.

"Subtle are the latest offshoot hybrid lovechild of the anitcon collective, featuring Adam ‘doseone’ Drucker (cLOUDDEAD/themselves) and Jeffrey ‘jel’ Logan (themselves). After releasing four consistently experimental (yet inconsistently rewarding) EPs on Lex, they dropped the track “f.k.o” in October as a teaser for their debut album. It teased, indeed, for Subtle had decided to confound expectations in the only way still could; they recorded a pop song. Granted, it was a pop song which spread beatnik rumors that ‘the sun is flipped by hat tipped Private dicks’ over a backing track that veered from folky electronica to Beach Boys lush, folded over biscuit-box beats from jel. Simply put, it was fantastic, and the bar was raised way, way up for their debut album, A New White."
