The Bay Area collective SUBTLE release their third and best album to date 'For Hero: For Fool'. The project is mothered and manned by ADAM DRUCKER (AKA DOSE ONE, the ANTICON poet-throat behind such celebrated ventures into the art unknown as THEMSELVES, CLOUDDEAD, and 13 & GOD). Adam is also the face and voice of SUBTLE, while the band's sweetmeats are comprised of: The cello and bass playing ALEXANDER KORT; drummer, guitarist, keyboardist and vocalist JORDAN DALRYMPLE; drum machine maestro, Anticon aural lynchpin and Themselves' betterhalf JEFFREY "JEL" LOGAN; and woodwinds mesmerist MARTY KALANI DOWERS. DAX PIERSON works voice and harmonica. All six are composers, producers and ideasmen. Although Subtle's work could be described as a middle ground between futuristic hip hop and underground US rock, that is a long way from doing it justice.
