Subtle (band)
Subtle was an alternative hip hop sextet from Oakland, California. It consisted of Adam Drucker (Doseone), Jeffrey Logan (Jel), Dax Pierson, Jordan Dalrymple, Alexander Kort, and Marty Dowers. The band was formed in 2001. While considered by the artists to be "genreless", Subtle had close ties to the hip hop and indie music scene.
Although both Doseone and Jel are members of Anticon collective, Subtle was not on the Anticon label roster. Subtle was signed to Lex Records.
Personnel
The six member band consisted of:
History
The Season EPs and Earthsick
Earthsick
Earthsick is an album by American alternative hip hop sextet Subtle. It was released after the success of their first album A New White in the underground hip hop community.
It is a compilation of what the band considered to be the best of the four previously released Season EPs, which are now out of print. Tracks 11 through 14 are previously unreleased material from a winter solstice session recorded the following year and are, like the Winter EP, completely improvised with no overdubs.
Note from the band
In the liner notes of Earthsick a note issued by the band can be found, it says the following:
"Eathsick was recorded on many devices over the course of two years 2001 to 2003 by subtle in our bedrooms... on our rooftops... and so on... mixed on our computers...we took things from what we thought was wrong with the world, it being a sickness to live...these songs were released on the four season ep's along with their brother and sister songs which are now out of print..."
