There are him - the good pop!

In the age of the assembly line and the music hits and Stars from the retort is an album like "Making Mirrors" nothing less than a revelation. Gotye is no hollow fictional character, but embodies the best of pop music: emotions, creativity (both music and video), and the ability to easily express everything important in 3 to 5 minutes. Attracted by "Somebody That I Used To Know" (on YouTube), a downright outrageous catchy, the board bought on spec and have not been disappointed.
My Vorrezensenten have commented already on the individual titles, so only Basic:
Gotye loots a fancy by the fundus of the pop music of the past 40 years, citing Motown soul, Sixties pop, reggae and dub, revels in part in vocal harmonies, which are known from the seventies, outlining in full today's music. So "State Of The Art" (Track 9). The boundary between "real" instruments and ingeniously inserted electronics seem to blur. This fall mainly on the many sonic details: under the surface very catchy romp thousands of little things that make listening more interesting. Forget all the soulless creatures in the pop business - heard Gotye!
