SOFI TUKKER are ending their meteoric year with the release of their cover of Snow Patrol’s classic “Chasing Cars”. The duo recasts the song as a vulnerable duet that waxes and wanes, echoing intimate conversations. The band share about the song, "Chasing Cars is a song we both bonded over. It depicts that state... of being intimate with someone, of forgetting the whole world exists, when you're together. The lyrics couldn't be more perfect. The two opening notes are iconic. We still can't believe we even dared to touch it... it's such a masterpiece already. Tuck doesn't usually volunteer to sing, but there's probably no other song he's sung more in his life. So he was comfy enough to give it a go. We first made it to perform on Triple J, an Australian radio station, and then we realized it's the perfect way to wrap up an amazing year. Last week marked 1000 days since the Freak Fam started, the community that built around the livestream DJ sets we did during the pandemic. We hope it pulls at the heartstrings of people who once listened to this song the way we did, and maybe it'll introduce some people to the song altogether, in which case... you're welcome. We feel lucky to have been able to have fun with it. Thank you Snow Patrol for writing one of our favorite songs ever." Listen to it here, watch the visualizer, and check out the Triple J live performance.
