Released on August 19, 2011, Making Mirrors is the third studio album by Belgian-Australian polymath Gotye. While the world knows it for the inescapable, heartbreaking single "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra), the album is a sonic tapestry far deeper than its radio-friendly lead.
Tracks like "Eyes Wide Open" showcase Gotye’s ability to merge organic instrumentation with synthesized textures, utilizing a unique sample from a customized musical saw. "State of the Art" is a satirical, synth-heavy ode to the Lowrey Cotillion organ he acquired, layering pitch-shifted vocals over a thumping bassline. Meanwhile, "Bronte" offers a tender, cinematic closing ballad that proves his songwriting extends far beyond catchy pop hooks. Gotye - Making Mirrors -2011- -FLAC- politux
