Gotye
Label:
Read Description:
Miniature pop epics with bags of invention, layered with strings, tumbling rhythms and vocoder-ed vocals.
‘Like Drawing Blood' is a properly cool selection of summer songs from the pick'n'mix Aussie hipster, like the child Beck and Radiohead never had together. He is currently receiving some well earned hype, this album has just been named "iTunes Album Of The Year For 2008"! and "Learnalilgivanlovin" is still getting heavy rotation on many european radio playlists. It has also been voted the Number One album of the year by Real Music!!
Gotye layers strings, tumbling rhythms, and his own occasionally vocoder-ed voice into miniature epics, and he's already wading into the mainstream. His is a talent for full on joyful pop with bags of invention but rooted firmly in some classic periods of the genre. From the soothing 80s synth sounds of Night Drive to the full on Northern Soul of Learnalillovinangivin via heartbreaking epic Heart‘s A Mess, this music makes everyday life into the stuff of joy and punching into the air, and that is what amazing pop song writing is all about. Mark Ronson wishes he was this talented.
Instrumentals Available.
