Gotye


I hope you are all ready to have your minds and preconceptions BLOWN! Gotye is an Australian-Belgian multi-instrumental musician and singer-songwriter whose talent ranges from vocals, percussion, guitar, keyboard, drums, and the synthesizer!! "Gotye" comes from "Gaultier," and is the French translation of "Wouter;" which is quite fitting since his birth name is Wouter "Wally" De Backer. Not only has he independently released three albums, and one remix album, but he is also part of the Melbourne based band The Basics. His solo-style is classified as indie rock and experimental rock, and his understanding and love for music are apparent in every song. But not only are his songs amazing, his music videos are out of this world! The artistic skills behind his videos are a trip all on their own, and one I highly suggest you taking!

Gotye will be playing at Coachella on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd!


And just because I can't get enough..here's an extra music video to really show the wide scope of digital art used! :)
