Like Drawing Blood

Gotye

A meticulous collage of dusty samples, soulful vocals, and late-night melancholy. Intricate bedroom-pop that feels both vintage and futuristic.

March 21, 2006 · Samples 'n' Seconds Records

A meticulously crafted exploration of isolation and longing, wrapped in warm, dusty textures.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic swell of strings and sub-bass that anchors the emotional climax of Hearts a Mess.
The jarring shift from dusty 60s soul samples to modern electronic precision in Learnalilgivinanlovin.
The way the percussion in Puzzle With a Piece Missing mimics the mechanical frustration of the lyrics.
