Wow this past 18 months have been one hell of a ride for Aussie bedroom cut and paste king WALLY De BACKER! Critical acclaim and many satisfied punters have enjoyed his GOTYE work and now he has unleashed his collabrative project THE BASICS who we have been giving a healthy spin.
This wed night we will chat to the man himself about GOTYE/ THE BASICS and MILLI VANILLI ... Whats the link?
Tune in this week and find out...
Gotye, whose real name is Wally de Backer, has managed to release what is close to the best Australian album for 2006, Like Drawing Blood. I love the press release - “Take two and a half years, four share-houses, 757 op-shop records, a few thousand dollars lost to dodgy housemates, 2565 hours of community library customer service, 20,000 km of round-Australia travel, countless computer crashes and one critical hard-disk failure, and you have a rough diary for the recording process of the new record by Gotye (pronounced ‘gore-ti-yeah’).”
Instrumentally, Like Drawing Blood is a cut-and-paste affair, in a similar vein to DJ Shadow sans the hip-hop. All of this is topped off by Wally’s immaculate vocals. The end result is a fusion of genres and styles that’s a joy to listen to
