A few weeks in the past, as I sat in the lounge of my Brooklyn house, I heard a well-known xylophonic riff reverberating from a automotive’s subwoofers on the road. I assumed, “Is somebody actually blasting Gotye’s 2012 smash hit ‘Anyone That I Used To Know‘ proper now?” Seems it was really “Anxiousness,” a track Doechii first self-released years in the past however simply formally re-released as a correct studio single earlier this month. It prominently samples “Anyone That I Used To Know,” which could increase the query: What are these xylophone thumpers as much as know?
Earlier than Gotye was Gotye, he was Wally De Backer, founding member of the Aussie rock band the Fundamentals. The Fundamentals didn’t carry out on the well-known studio model of “Anyone That I Used To Know,” however they’ve performed the track collectively earlier than, and Gotye has remained considerably lively within the band ever since. Now, the Fundamentals are apparently prepping their first new album in six years, with a brand new single on the best way.
“We’ve performed one thing a bit totally different with this one, as Apple Music retains telling us that we’ve obtained a sizeable viewers within the ex-Soviet bloc,” the Fundamentals wrote on Instagram. “We’ve written and recorded a track for that a part of the world. As such, there shall be some those who don’t get it, and received’t prefer it. That’s okay, there’s extra music coming past that.”
The brand new track is named “Законопослушный гражданин,” which interprets to “Don’t Be Deceived.” Ought to be attention-grabbing! However what’s equally attention-grabbing is how “Anyone That I Used To Know” appears to maintain discovering new life over a decade later. Doechii’s now a Grammy-winning rapper, and “Anxiousness” has simply turn into her first-ever High 10 hit. I’m wondering if individuals within the ex-Soviet bloc like “Anxiousness” too.
