People have been raving about Gotye’s latest Triple J hit ‘Somebody I Used to Know. No doubt it will finish strong in the Triple J hottest 100 this year. And yet despite the near ubiquity of the original at the moment, Faux Pas has really made this song his own. Unlike some remixes that sound like they’re working against the track, this feels like it’s how the song was always went to be (not that the feeling inevitability in any way diminishes the creative achievement here).

Ugh, not feeling it AT ALL.
Listened the whole way through waiting for a breakthrough moment or something to really make the song, given the praise in the article, but none came.
