Chandra: Now on Numero Who was the 10-year-old doing homework at band practice and ended up being sampled by The Avalanches decades later? By the time she was 8, Chandra Oppenheim was already doing performance art in downtown New York alongside her father, conceptual artist Dennis Oppenheim. A few years later, his friends Eugenie Diserio and Steven Alexander, members of Model Citizens and The Dance, decided they wanted to start a second project, and invited Chandra to front it as she had started writing songs at a young age. In 1980, at just 10 years old, she recorded “Transportation,” a four-song EP that was equal parts mutant disco, post-punk, no wave, and art rock. The EP pairs Chandra’s juvenile unfiltered perspective with hypnotic basslines, off-kilter synths, and infectious grooves that was unlike anything else coming out of the scene. Chandra stepped away from music at 14 to focus on school, but her work maintained a small yet dedicated cult following. It was regularly played on college and independent radio stations like WFMU, some songs were featured on compilations and “Kate” was in the soundtrack for the film “Teenage.” Then in 2016, her song “Subways” found a new audience after being sampled by The Avalanches, introducing one of New York’s most singular cult records to a new generation. The “Transportation” EP along with the unreleased track “Shut in/Shut out” is now streaming on Numero.

CONCENTRATION by teenage post-punk prodigy CHANDRA formed by Chandra Oppenheim in New York City in 1979 at the age of eleven, releasing her first and only EP “Transportation” the following year, though forced to dissolve in 1982, choosing her education over music. She came of age in the NYC underground, being the daughter of conceptual artist and professor Dennis Oppenheim, who was a teacher of her bandmate Eugenie Diserio, whose bands played at parties at Chandra’s family’s loft. Eugenie was in Model Citizens, who split after doing one record produced by John Cale, and fractioned into The Dance and Polyrock, who then did an album with Philip Glass. Chandra’s drummer, Fred Maher, was also a member of Material at the same time he was recording and backing The Dance and Chandra.
