'Somebody I Used To Know'
APRA week : As a tribute to Australian music, this week's clip features Mansionair & Merci, Mercy covering Gotye's iconic 'Somebody I Used To Know' featuring Kimbra, for The Sound - Magic!
In case you didn't know - Mansionair is an Australian indie electronic trio that formed in 2014.
'Happiness, Guaranteed' is Mansionair's new 2022 album & was released on the 29 April.
"It's fun, it's laidback, it's slacker surf rock. It's everything I've been surrounding myself with in the last little while," Mansionair's Jack Froggatt told triple j during the track's first play anywhere.
The album track 'Next High' (Which we featured here on PortMac.News a few weeks back & is in the playlist) is a collaboration with US producer/multi-instrumentalist Kim Tee, who Mansionair first met backstage touring with Laneway festival in 2019.
"She tours with Clairo, and we just kept running into them backstage. We got on like a house on fire," Jack said.
"We ran into them again at Coachella and thought, 'OK, we should maybe do something. And we did! We started sending ideas back and forth and this one stuck. We all loved it."
Tying the music together, Jack says, is the ongoing wrestle with the idea of "trying to find happiness in what's been such a crazy time.
How do you discover who you are and what you want to achieve? Battling the ideas of success and other people's expectations."
