Here is a tour de force brought by Australian multi-instrumental musician Wouter De Backer. You can call him, Gotye. The fragment of indie-pop band, The Basics has stepped into single hood and is mingling with one of the strongest vocalists currently putting out tunes, Kimbra. The picked guitar and tip toeing xylophone lead into piercing vocals comparable to Sting, and overlapping harmonies that makes hair rise.

The experimental uses of flute, cowbell, and coinciding verses makes for a dense, filled out song that erupts with the frustration of being screwed over. The large helping of melodic power slowly creeps up and seizes the senses.

Gotye: somebody you should know.
