20 Years of "Like Drawing Blood" ! We just realized that yesterday, Gotye’s seminal album "Like Drawing Blood" officially turned 20. It’s wild how time flies, but what’s even more impressive is how this record has refused to age. It’s a certified classic that still feels like a transmission from the future. Before the world was humming "Somebody That I Used to Know," Wally De Backer was already a deep-dive sonic scientist. Like Drawing Blood remains a masterclass in sampling, atmosphere, and genre-bending. The Musical Hermit 😘 If you're wondering why Wally isn't topping the charts in 2026, it's because he deliberately chose a different life. He stepped away from the pop-machine to become a "guardian of lost sounds." His obsession with the Ondioline (a rare 1940s vacuum-tube synth) led him to a deep friendship with pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey. Today, Wally spends more time in archives and workshops than in studios, preserving the fragile history of early electronic music. What is he doing now 🧐 Wally has essentially become the "phantom of the industry." He lives a quiet, low-profile life, moving between Melbourne and New York. While projects like The Basics and his label Forgotten Futures are currently in a deep sleep, his influence persists: • He remains a key figure in the preservation of the Jean-Jacques Perrey archives. • He continues to work on his mythical 4th studio album — a project he’s been perfecting for over a decade. • He chose the soul of a curator over the noise of a superstar. He didn't "fail" to follow up his hits; he simply decided that protecting musical history was more important than making more of it. Respect to a man who values integrity over fame. Do yourself a favor: go revisit "Like Drawing Blood" today — it's still a journey.
