Subtle Hurts is the newest track from The Racing Pulses. The band defies genre conventions. While nominally a rock act, there are subtle nods to acts like Pulp and Massive Attack as much as Wilco and Jet. The tautness of the instrumentation is what will get people tuned in. Fuzzy guitars are punctuated by assertive drums, all while the vocals rise above the resulting effort. Subtle Hurts’ bridge is a way for fans to catch their breath before the back kicks back in to high gear. I’m intrigued to hear where The Racing Pulses go in the next few years.
