Subtle's new album ExitingARM is out now worldwide. It's been getting understandably great reviews because it's an amazing record that you need to check out asap! The band have just finished their US tour and are getting ready to hit Europe at full force this summer and again in October. Tour info on the right:
"ExitingARM is gorgeous. On some nasty, guttural level, it’s music like you’ve never heard." - XLR8R
"From brilliant mess to pop genius." - Spin Magazine
"Another step forward in the brilliant career of a group who are unafraid to switch it up." - Alternative Press Magazine
"They've become agressive and astonishing--and still bleeding edge." - PITCHFORK (Recommended Music) 8/10
