Trivia

Interesting facts about Subways. By Songfacts.

This is based around a vocal sample of then-12-year-old singer Chandra's 1980 track of the same name. The Avalanches' Robbie Chater explained to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation: "We came across her EP, called The Transportation EP, made in 1980 and it's this crazy no wave post-punk random music... It must be very strange for her today to hear her 12-year-old self, sampled in another dimension exploded around in space and time, coming back out through the radio again."


Chandra had not heard of the Avalanches until they approached her in early 2014 for permission to sample the track, but has since become a fan of their work.


Created by French illustrators Mrzyk & Moriceau, the video takes us on an animated trip through New York's underground train service.
