About The Subtheory
Formed in late 2019, The Subtheory is an Oxford-based band that expanded post-lockdown. Drawing on a diverse array of musical influences ranging from Massive Attack and Portishead to David Bowie, Radiohead, QOTSA, Phantogram and DJ Shadow, The Subtheory has quickly carved out a unique sound that resonates with fans and critics alike, they have successfully captured the essence of modern Trip Hop, Psychpop, and Downtempo. Their last few singles have built them critical success and a growing fanbase. Their music has been featured in award-winning BBC documentaries, and they continue to innovate with their latest release, ‘Shark Tank’.
Album Highlights
‘The Sicilian Defence’ and ‘The Wolf in the Fairytale’ are both highlights on the album showcasing The Subtheory at their finest.
“Dark and brooding with a uniquely melancholic essence, ‘Crown Of Thorns’ by The Subtheory is captivating electronic, trip-hop that captures a vibe unlike anything else.” – Right Chord Music
“Oxford’s The Subtheory have really hit the spot with the rich, cinematic synth-alt-rock of ‘Sophistry’.” – Trust The Doc.
“Every part of ‘Song of the Damascene’ feels so fragile you wonder how it manages to hold itself together, but like a dew-dappled spider’s web its strength is deceptive, its sinister purpose hidden beneath pretty patterns. It’s a lovely, haunting song that belies its apparent smallness and, like mist, envelopes you.” – Nightshift
‘Shark Tank’ will be available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, as well as in physical format through select retailers and the official Subtheory website.
