Those who missed the monumental return of The Avalanches at Splendour In The Grass breathed a sigh of relief after Falls Festival was announced yesterday, with the local beat legends appearing at all four of the festival’s 2016 dates.
Joined by Childish Gambino, London Grammar, Broods, Alison Wonderland, AlunaGeorge and more, we can expect an audio-visual spectacular when The Avalanches close off the year with a bang at Falls Festival – and now arrives another single. Again taken from their recently-released comeback album Wildflower, the animated video for ‘Subways’ was crafted by French illustrators Mrzyk & Moriceau and is a psychedelic trip throughout New York’s infamous tunnels.
The carriages are filled with bright and bizarre creatures from dancing flowers to giant hands. Have you ever been flipped off by a green kitten? You have now! The playful, trippy visuals perfectly suit the nonchalant track and its eased throwback samples, with everyone from The Bee Gees to Chandra being reinterpreted for ‘Subways’. Watch it all below, and prepare for Falls Festival this December:
