Reddit sleuths track down the band behind the internet’s most mysterious song
Another ancient internet mystery solved.
Members of Reddit’s r/ThatMysteriousSong community have finally identified what they call “The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet,” a new wave tune that a teenager recorded to cassette sometime around 1984, as reported yesterday by 404 Media. The big breakthrough came yesterday after members started sifting through bands listed in the archives of a Hamburg local music festival. One member called Marijn1412 posted that they’d identified the band after finding a clue in an old newspaper article mentioning FEX, a group described as having “Rock with Wave and Pop influences.” They contacted one of the members, who confirmed he’d played in FEX and sent over recordings — one of which was a version of “Subways of the Mind.” And in the ultimate payoff for the community, there were two others, titled “ Heart in Danger ” and “ Talking Hands.”
