about

Subtle's debut album on Lex is a great introduction to this West-coast band composed of electronic and live drums, electric cello, samplers, guitars, wind instruments, synths and Doseone’s sharp, free-flowing vocals. Acoustic instrumentation veers from gentle scene-setting to full-on tracks like The Long Vain Of The Law.

Though the band is made up of 6 musicians, all tracks on this album were written by Doseone and Jel, so there's a similarity to their output as Themselves and cLOUDEAD, however these themes are expressed with far more epic instrumentation here.

"In 'The Book of Sand', Borges imagined a book with an infinite number of constantly rearranging pages. The old metaphysician always dreamt of impossible libraries containing the sum total of language, or points in space that enclosed everything in the universe simultaneously. If he were alive today, I like to think he'd find a musical facsimile of his coveted Aleph in Doseone's bottomless oeuvre." Pitchfork (seriously...)

it took a few listens of the album for it to sink in but once it did... I absolutely love The Impossible Kid but it pales in comparison with Spirit World Field Guide, it's on another level. beli_dzavo

A lot of great alt rappers on this release along with Blockhead's masterful production. But honestly, you're only here for the track with Aesop. Kiss The Cook is a masterpiece. Wesley

This was an amazing co-lab. The instrumentals feel like cotton candy to me. And Aes works his magic. I'm surprised the two worked so well together. fsquid
