Pitchfork

L.A. robo-rapper Subtitle may be tired of the game (he's retiring the Subtitle moniker at the end of this year-- unless his demands are met-- and continuing as Giovanni Marks), but at least he's got his friends. And on Terrain to Roam, his new album coming out October 10 on Alpha Pup, he enlists pretty much all of them behind the boards. Also: the cover utilizes the Pez font!!

Terrain to Roam features production from Madlib, Dntel (aka Jimmy Tamborello), Daedelus, Nobody, Daddy Kev, Paris Zax, Thavius Beck, Omid, dDamage, Crunc Tesla, and Small Is Beautiful (aka J'Aime Tambeur, formerly of Islands), among others. And speaking of Islands, Subtitle will kick off his North American tour this weekend with those Unicorns-descended crazies.
