Take 5

Gotye Takes 5 from the archives


Listen Later

This month, Gotye's breakthrough album Like Drawing Blood, turns 20. It was the record that took him from bedroom producer to Hottest 100 favourite, showcasing his incredible talent at sewing sounds. The man behind Gotye, Wally De Backer, has been keeping a low profile for a while. But back in 2007, after a huge year following this album's release, he joined Zan Rowe to Take 5. 

This is one of the very first episodes of Take 5, and the first time it's ever appeared on the podcast.

So jump in the time machine and travel back to this mid 2000's moment. It was before Gotye released his worldwide smash "Somebody That I Used to Know", Homebake Festival still existed, MySpace was king, and Wally was at a precipice; head spinning from a wild year but with no idea of what was ahead.

His theme? His top 5 moments of the last 12 months. His songs, all Australian. 

Gotye's song choices:

  • Josh Pyke - Fill You In 
  • Karnivool - Shutterspeed  
  • Faux Pas - For The Trees 
  • Emily Ulman - Upping The Ante
  • The Presets - Are You The One?
