Making Mirrors by Gotye
Making Mirrors is an album by Gotye, released in 2011. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 74 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Somebody That I Used To Know”, on 65 lists and voted number one five times.
Making Mirrors, the third album by Gotye, the Belgian-born Australian multi-instrumentalist Wally De Backer, came out in Australia on 19 August 2011, and it's a quirky patchwork of art pop and oddball rock that somehow conquered the planet. The reason was "Somebody That I Used to Know", his duet with Kimbra, a sparse, aching song that topped charts around the world, including the Hot 100, and won Grammys for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
The rest of the album wanders happily: "Eyes Wide Open" rumbles, "I Feel Better" bounces, and "In Your Light" is bright and breezy. It won the Triple J listeners' album poll for 2011, the second time Gotye had topped it and a first for any artist, and it took the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album.
