Gotye. I’ve been urged to blog about Wally De Backer’s music for a while now. Don’t you dare ask me why I haven’t. Maybe I thought you weren’t ready for this? Maybe I simply kept forgetting to? Well whatever the reason, Gotye’s music has remained, for the most part, a nicely kept secret. Last year, this tune, “Learnalilgivinanlovin’” was released in various parts of the world, but garnered very little exposure for the young Australian artist.
Luckily, Backer will receive his very first US release with a 7″ single for “Learnalilgivinanlovin’.” It will be backed by a remixed by Passion Pit. Hopefully that will certainly entice people to go out and listen to Gotye. It will be released via Neon Gold on August 17th. It only costs $5. Buy it here.

It must be love…love love
FINALLY, Gotye gets the PMA treatment… Heart’s A Mess is one of my favorite songs of all time
YES! He is amazing. Saw him perform ‘Learnalillivinanlovin’ circa 2007 and he played the drums while singing. LOVE!
no matter how cool the music is.. all i gotta say is… GET A PROPER EDUCATION OF ENGLISH DUDEEE! there is no such word as “learnalilgivinanlovin”and im tired of people trying to get attention like this.
you do realize that ‘gotta,’ ‘im,’ and ‘dudeee’ are not words, either, right?
Dear Duke,
Learnalilgivinanlovin’ = Learn a Little Giving and Loving
Its meant to be spelled that way stupid
like you were the only person who can translate that… BIG FUCKING DEAL. Now stfu and learn to respect the language you’re using everyday.
I’m a big Gotye fan. His album was on iTunes for £4.49 back when a bought it – what a steal!
Duke, it’s called ARTISTIC LICENSE.
don’t think he’s that much of a secret in aus.
was in the hottest 100 songs of all time for gods sake lol
lol, oh no he’s no secret over there… but everywhere else, sadly, yes
