基本介绍
这支6人乐队里有键盘、吉他、打击乐、木管乐器、大提琴、口琴甚至还有自鸣筝,玩的竟然是说唱,可以想像旧金山这支实验乐队是多么“另类”。
这是由唱片店员工与一些独立乐手组成的Subtle的专辑,融合了说唱、电子与摇滚,创造了一种既古怪又古怪地和谐的音乐风格。几乎无法预测他们音乐的下一步会是什么,丰富的音乐元素让人想起1970年代后期学院派艺术摇滚全盛时无所不能的创造力,而说唱与黑人味十足的演唱又将带到1980年代生猛的穷街陋巷,富有影像感采样与低保真打击乐则让人欢欣鼓舞地听到1990年代独立音乐之声,最厉害的还是当这一切糅合在一起的时候,你会在某种混沌的糊涂之中感觉到美妙。

歌词:
When last we left him
Our hero yes was recently diagnosed as being last havern
Of a most unusual sort of bloodn
Quite surprised by the news himselfn
(and still the genuinely unlucky man)n
He now wields his one and only body bagn
Of this, his now very rare blood
And so, we find him seated not starved but smalledn
Before a really rather serious spreadn
His evening's eats have been copped and bequeathedn
By the richest of rich who's only child is especially sickn
Their fair scared parent eyes reading weakn
Yelling help across some 200 feet of set tablen
Yours far full of edge perfectly still like straight teethn
It seems so few would know just what to do as the new and improved lucky youn
To be courted and prized as someone else's very own personal blood minen
I mean What if your o-so unique blood... then became the latest crazen
Would the dear disparate world not get the wrong/right idea
You now owning all your ever so happening bloodn
You sole proprietor of all that priceless red wetn
What if.
What if your blood were then all the ragen
What thenn
What if your blood weren't you
What would you given
In order to get your handsn
On the latest most luxurious bloodn
To have yours flushed completelyn
And replaced with that of a nice bright whiten
College boy or very viral multi-millionaire widown
Would you later pay extran
For your old red tide to be glassedn
Sat down, room warm beside your occupied hospital bedn
So that when you were well n
And in your right mind of redwetsn
And new whites. You just mightn
Indeed, spill your own & old bloodn
Can't you hear your mercury justn
Ringing with the jingles alreadyn
Is there a terrible time to your life that never seems to let upn
Is it a terrible time of the great nothing muchn
What say you leave your past life's luck in the dust.
And let the miracle most of modern day at your blood
