Making Mirrors album Product Description



Making Mirrors album by Gotye was released Dec 12, 2011 on the Universal Import label. Stepping out from behind the piano/drums of Melbourne indie pop three-piece the Basics for the third time, Belgian-Australian multi-instrumentalist Wally De Backer, aka Gotye's first solo record in five years, Making Mirrors, reveals a love of the '80s pop scene, which extends far beyond the usual influences of the current nu-synth brigade. Making Mirrors CD music The hugely experimental follow-up to 2006's Like Drawing Blood doesn't discriminate against other decades, as evident on the impossibly uplifting '60s retro soul of "I Feel Better," the '70s West Coast harmonies of the ethereal lullaby-like closer "Bronte," the '90s Beck-esque scuzzy garage rock of "Easy Way Out," and the 2000s hushed, claustrophobic dubstep of "Don't Worry, We'll Be Watching You." But seemingly unaffected by the constant comparisons with the likes of Sting and Peter Gabriel, it's the era of early new wave, dub, and worldbeat which defines its 12 tracks. Making Mirrors music CDs Unexpected chart-topper "Somebody That I Used to Know," a collaboration with New Zealand vocalist Kimbra, is an oddball break-up song whose stuttering rhythms, reggae hooks, and hushed vocals sound like the Police as remixed by the XX, "Smoke and Mirrors" echoes the avant-garde pop of Gabriel's So, with its pounding tribal drums, orchestral flourishes, and new age melodies, while there are also nods to George Michael's "Faith" on the acoustic gospel-pop of "In Your Light"; the impassioned Aussie rock of Midnight Oil on the ecologically themed "Eyes Wide Open," and electro pioneer Thomas Dolby on the strange, vocodered vocals, spoken word samples, and skank guitars of the trippy "State of the Art." Familiar they may be, but some credit has to go to De Backer for managing to weave these eclectic retro sounds into a cohesive affair, which proves that along with recent efforts by Art vs. Making Mirrors songs Science and Architecture in Helsinki, Australia is fast becoming one of the biggest purveyors of quality experimental pop. ~ Jon O'Brien Deluxe two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition including a bonus DVD that contains mini documentaries, video clips and more. The package also includes a download card for non-album track "Dig You Own Hole", and a limited edition album artwork poster.2011 release, the third album from Australian multi-instrumentalist Walter De Backer AKA Gotye.

great influences, great album.
This is just the sort of album that an informed and experimental musician who has been raised on choice left field rock would make. As a reference, start at XTCs' ENGLISH SETTLEMENT, do a swing by Thomas Dolbys' ANGELS and HERETICs, add a little Shreikback, a dose of SPLIT ENZ at their most experimental, and stir vigourously. It is a total joy. Buy it and love it madly.

Unexpectedly Good Album
I bought this cd mainly for the smash hit Somebody That I used to Know but was pleasantly surprised by other tracks.Smoke and Mirrors,Giving me a Chance and Save Me could easily become hits.
