Wouter De Backer (born in Bruges, Belgium), also known as Walter (or Wally) De Backer, was raised in Australia, and is often referred to by the name of his solo-project Gotye (pronounced: ‘Gaultier’).
De Backer is an ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter. As Gotye, he has released two studio albums independently and one remix album featuring remixes of tracks from his first two albums. He is also one-third of Melbourne indie-pop band The Basics, who have independently released three studio albums and numerous other titles since 2002.
Gotye’s sound is a melting pot of samples from sources far and wide, mixed with Wally’s vocals and home recorded sounds to form original songs that are as likely to channel ’80s New Romantic pop or ’60s Motown soul as they are to be experiments in kooky turntablism or progressive trip-hop landscapes.
New single, Somebody That I Used To Know, is the first single from his new album, Making Mirrors, scheduled for release on August 19.
