Gautier/Gotye/Goatie ey?

Gotye - Wally DeBacker


Ok wow did I get it wrong. In a comment I made on my post yesterday about Hard-Fi, I sidetracked, saying that I was falling in love with a song constantly played on the Australian public youth music station, Triple J. In the comment, I called the artist Gautier, since that was always what I assumed it was. My comment spurred me into motion and I foraged the Triple J site in search of the artist's true name until I found him - Gotye. Seriously, who spells their name like that. He's from Melbourne I guess...


So it turns out his real name is Wally DeBacker, and under the moniker of "Gotye" he has released two albums. Now that I know his name, I can finally access his music in a far better quality than what analogue radio can offer. Gotye is a pretty damn good artist - he created his latest album over two years entirely on his own with various instruments and a computer, and the result is fantastic. Heart's a Mess is the track played constantly by Triple J, a mix of foreign percussion, wierd sounds and Gotye's vocals which are decent enough to carry the message. Hopefully, I'll be able to grab his album soon enough and then I can review him properly. For now, check him out.

Hey, at least I am not the only one who thinks like that! (Education says a lot for some people! [Ha ha])...just kidding, seriously! I would never have thought 'Gotye' - a big thanks for the clarification!

Thanks for the info and including "gautier", as that was one of my spelling attempts to find out more about this artist, never would have guessed "gotre"!

Another Belgian who makes good music. His real name is Wouter Debacker, not Wally Debacker. He moved to Australia from Bruges when he was 2 years old. And he makes fantastic music! Beautiful voice as well.
