ExitingARM

Subtle

2008

ExitingARM places its narrator, Hour Hero Yes, in a science fiction world where he is forced to write pop songs for mass consumption. The rapper is trapped in an underworld, forced to create music solely using text and sounds from the previous two albums, A New White and For Hero: For Fool. It is a working-class code of ARMs… For all those in mid-cope and still hopeful…

It’s also about the future… what will become of apathy’s high horse in today’s palm, where will it all head when the reins are barely held… how will our children ride in the face of No bees and ever so slowly more severe plight heights… Much to the chagrin of yes, his new freedom is in fact nothing of the sort… rather than breaking for an open window, it seems yes has bolted toward a box the size of all our lives… and what begins to unfold before and around him, is enough to close the sky forever, or open up the chest all men undead permanently…
