Electronic Pop | House
Some tracks just grab you from the moment of the first note, and others take awhile to warm up like an old oven. This happens to be a case of the latter. I wasn’t really get grabed by this track until I recently saw the video for it, which compelled me to watch/listen to this track for it’s entirety. I sure am grateful I did. There have been a few tracks that have been “slow burners” for me this year and typically, they up being my favorites. Now I get to add this track to said list.
Take some Peter Gabriel-esque vocals, mix in some old school Speak and Spell computer speak, and catchy bassline and you got the track from Gotye titled, “Thanks For Your Time”. Love the break down in the middle of the track — wait for it around the 2:31 mark — in a word, brilliant!
Gotye hails from a city I’ve actually had the pleasure of visiting (there aren’t alot, hence why I’m pointing this out), Bruges which is located in Belgium. However, Gotye (aka Wouter DeBacker) now resided in Melbourne, Australia. I bring this to your attention, since you can hear the influcense of such citys in his music. You can find this track as well as many others from his 2006 release, “Like Drawing Blood”.
