A few years back, songwriter, producer and all-round one-man band Gotye, otherwise known as Wally De Backer, came up with an album that really struck a chord. His beautifully crafted Like Drawing Blood was highly placed in BobbySix.com's 2006 end of year top ten, was voted Triple J listeners' favourite album of 2006 and iTunes UK's Album Of The Year in 2008. In 2007, he won the ARIA Award as Australia's Best Male Artist.
It seems like forever since Like Drawing Blood was released so - considering it was on constant rotation at Bobby Six Towers for a long time - it is to some excitement that news arrives of a forthcoming release. Yes, in early 2011 there will finally be a new Gotye long-player and, to whet our appetites, single Eyes Wide Open is available for a limited time as a free download from his website.
Written, performed, recorded and produced by the multi-talented multi-tasker, this single combines pedal steel guitar, cello moans, bass tones sampled from the Winton Musical Fence in outback Queensland and sounds created in the home studio built by his father. The result proves that, while remaining boundary-pushing and inventive, Gotye sure as hell knows how to pen a catchy tune.
Download it here for free. Don't delay though, it won't be available forever.
