Album Review

Gotye – Hearts A Mess

• 29th May 2008

With the first plucks of a harp this song entrances. Melbourne based Wally De Backer is the one man band behind Gotye, collecting and sampling sounds from where ever he goes. The result is a lush multi layered ballad with hi fi depth. The first single from album, ‘Like Drawing Blood’ has got me interested to hear what else this cut and paste talent can create

A beautifully sad song that would make Thom Yorke weep with jealousy.
