基本介紹
這支6人樂隊裡有鍵盤、吉他、打擊樂、木管樂器、大提琴、口琴甚至還有自鳴筝，玩的竟然是說唱，可以想像舊金山這支實驗樂隊是多麼“另類”。
這是由唱片店員工與一些獨立樂手組成的Subtle的專輯，融合了說唱、電子與搖滾，創造了一種既古怪又古怪地和諧的音樂風格。幾乎無法預測他們音樂的下一步會是什麼，豐富的音樂元素讓人想起1970年代後期學院派藝術搖滾全盛時無所不能的創造力，而說唱與黑人味十足的演唱又将帶到1980年代生猛的窮街陋巷，富有影像感采樣與低保真打擊樂則讓人歡欣鼓舞地聽到1990年代獨立音樂之聲，最厲害的還是當這一切糅合在一起的時候，你會在某種混沌的糊塗之中感覺到美妙。

歌詞：
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
