Formed in the heart of Austin, Texas in 2009, Subtle Base is composed of four lifelong friends — lead vocalist and guitarist Jake Sullivan, bassist and backing vocalist Ethan Moreau, drummer Sam Wilson, and keyboardist Riley Brooks. Having grown up in a city teeming with music, the members of Subtle Base found a shared passion for creating crafty melodies with nuanced storytelling. After numerous garage jam sessions throughout their high school years, the quartet finally decided to form their own band, Subtle Base, striving to make a mark in the music industry.
Starting off by performing at local bars and small gigs, Subtle Base gradually gained recognition in the music scene. Their raw talent and unique sound caught the attention of Indie Boulevard Records, a local independent record label, and they landed their first record deal in 2011. Since then, they’ve released three albums and are renowned in the indie music scene for their compelling performances and heartfelt lyrics.
2. Music Genre:
Subtle Base plays a mix of Indie Rock and Alternative Folk, often blending in elements of Psychedelic Rock. Their music is recognizable for its rich, multi-layered soundscapes, intricate guitar work, and profound lyrics.

“Embers in the Wind”
4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Walking down this old, familiar path,
The echoes of our laughter still intact,
Through the whispers of leaves, I feel the past,
Remembering the love that didn’t last.
(Chorus)
Embers in the wind, we’re burning bright,
Fading slowly, in the quiet of the night.
We are lost and found, in love’s endless fight,
Just embers in the wind, holding on tight.
(Verse 2)
Tales told in the silence of your eyes,
The promise of forever, hidden in your sighs.
Our love, a delicate compromise,
Just like the sunset, beautiful with goodbyes.
(Chorus)
Embers in the wind, we’re burning bright,
Fading slowly, in the midnight’s light.
We are lost and found, in love’s eternal flight,
Just embers in the wind, on this starry night.
(Bridge)
Caught in the rhythm of our hearts,
A symphony of love that never departs.
We are dreamers, under the same stars,
Chasing the echoes of our silent guitars.
(Chorus)
Embers in the wind, we’re burning bright,
Fading slowly, as the day turns into night.
We are lost and found, in love’s tender plight,
Just embers in the wind, till we reunite.
