- Gotye is the music-making mantle of Wally De Backer, songwriter,
- producer and all-round one-man band.
- A few years ago he created an album that became something of an
- underground classic.
- That record, Like Drawing Blood, was voted Triple J listeners'
- favourite album of 2006, and iTunes UK's Album Of The Year in 2008.
- In 2007 Gotye won the ARIA Award as Australia's Best Male Artist
- and his audiovisually ambitious tour with a mini orchestra attracted
- huge crowds and critical raves.
-
- Somebody That I Used To Know is the new single from ARIA
- Award-winning songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Gotye.
- Featuring vocals from lauded newcomer Kimbra, it's the second taste
- of Gotye's album, Making Mirrors, the highly anticipated follow-up
- to his platinum-selling classic, Like Drawing Blood which recently
- polled #11 Triple Jĺs Hottest 100 Australian Albums Of All Time.
- The mid July release of Somebody That I Used To Know (featuring
- Kimbra) came a few days earlier than planned owing to a leak of
- the video online. Within a week the song had been shared online
- over 50,000 times and it is currently sitting at #8 on the iTunes
- single chart.
-
- Earlier this year, the first single Eyes Wide Open came in at #25
- in Triple J's Hottest 100 only weeks after its release. Since then
- Gotye has delivered memorable live performances on the Laneway
- and Groovin' The Moo festivals. He will be giving fans another
- preview of Making Mirrors when he performs at Splendour In The
- Grass later this month.
-
- On August 20 the new album will be performed by a new 10-piece
- incarnation of his mini-orchestra and brought to life visually by
- some of Australia's most talented animators at the Sydney Opera
- House by invitation of the prestigious Graphic Festival.
-
-
- Australian music kicks arse. Always has, always will.
- We're just glad that you're all on board for the ride.
- We here at OZM will continue to shove Australian music right in
- your face proving that it's at least equal to - and usually
- better than - any international act.
