GOTYE, MAKING MIRRORS

Already a wildly popular album overseas, Gotye's Making Mirrors finally saw its US release last week. With the song Somebody That I Used To Know already finding its way to the top of many playing rotations on the radio and on line, Making Mirrors' popularity should only grow here as well. Gotye, the brand child and creation of Australia's Wouter De Backer, is more or less a one-man-band. A multi-instrumentalist who is armed with talent and spot on pop-sensibilities, De Backer roams boundary free, crafting memorable songs in his own unique way. Making Mirrors is an album packed full of great songs that are very catchy and also quite interesting to listen to at every turn.
