Yell & Ice
Lex
INDIE
‘Yell&Ice’ is an inspired collection of remakes, featuring collaborations with WHY? DAN BOECKNER of WOLF PARADE, TUNDE ADEBIMPE of TV ON THE RADIO, MARKUS ACHER of THE NOTWIST, ANDY BRODER from FOG, CHRIS ADAMS of HOOD and a one-off CLOUDDEAD reunion!
In the same way that the band’s previous collaboration / remix album ‘Wishingbone’ revisited SUBTLE’s first LP ‘A New White’, this release explores and reinterprets their critically acclaimed and most recent full-length studio album, ‘For Hero : For Fool’ (LEX040CD). Both ‘Wishingbone’ and ‘Yell&Ice’ were fashioned to further explore Subtle’s conceptual protagonist (called Hour Hero Yes), while creating a medium for the band’s love of collaborative music making. Unlike a typical collection of remixes, ‘Yell&Ice’ utterly reapproaches the lyrics and music of ‘For Hero : For Fool’.
Since 2001 Oakland-based sextet Subtle have been home-recording its way to the far side of song. Drawing from a diverse palette of instruments: sampler, synth, guitar, cello, winds, electronic and acoustic drums, and the unmistakable voice and prose of DOSEONE, the band fashions a self-sampled and live-mic’d honest-togenreless music.
